sleven, but doesn't that contradict what the final decision was that Hikma's infringement has been dismissed? It sounds like Andrews is saying no dismissal and the request to sever the 2 meaning Hikma and HN is back to being one lawsuit. What happens to Hikma's dismissal?
I get confused with all the legalese.

I agree with your assessment, although it's not exactly logical - the court declined to sever the claims filed against Hikma and HN, but he dismissed the claims against Hikma. Read the CC transcript - KM even says they are going to appeal the dismissal of Hikma. What's illogical is how can you dismiss Hikma w/o severing the claims? Only way that make sense is if there were zero overlapping claims. How the judge could dismiss Hikma just from reading briefs is beyond me - that means they had an overwhelming defense that they were not infringing - also points out the any attempt to connect this case to GSK/Teva were misguided, the behavior of Teva was obviously infringing, and Hikma was not that stupid.
