I think you have it backwards. Generics are claiming the patent was OBVIOUS through previous drugs such as Lovaza and are thus invalid. In the patent world you cannot patent an idea that is Obvious. It must be Non-Obvious.

That cannot possibly be what the generics are claiming in their attempt to invalidate MARINE patents - you must file for patents before any knowledge of the product and it's uses become known to the public - once it's known (prior art), it's no longer non-obvious.
