The proposed generic label would be exactly the same as the old MARINE label.

The Teva case is directly on point. Teva's label mentioned hypertension not congestive heart failure (the patented method) of GSK's drug. But these drugs are therapeutically equivalent. Guess what: still infringement.

Again skinny label completely gutted.

This ruling is a must read this weekend.

From the dissent opinion which does a good job of laying out the ramifications of what this all truly means:

"The Majority thereby allows one patented method to discourage generics from marketing skinny labels—thus, slowing, rather than
speeding, the introduction of low-cost generics."

The skinny label in our case is the Marine Indication that is not patented thanks to Judge Du. Our patented method in this case is the REDUCE-IT indication. Generic Vascepa and Vascepa are therapeutically equivalent.

Checkmate.

The generics thought they had us but then this ruling dropped today. It's a must read.
