EGRX addendum—MDCO’s Orange Book patents on Angiomax (which the CAFC found valid today) run until Jan 2029:

Angiomax sold about $600M per annum in the US before it initially went generic; so, now that MDCO’s patents have been found valid after all, Kangio, which has several advantages relative to Angiomax, represents a pretty big market opportunity for EGRX.
