It only applies to claim 23 and that is the claim that is not considered novel. The claim is one of the salts, and the examiner is saying that it is too close to a previous patent. All the other claims were upheld.

23 out of 24 claims is pretty good. Another company had over 40 claims in its application and nearly all of the claims were deemed not novel. I think they wound up with 6 claims. They still have patent protection for entire platform of drugs.
