Cannacord report-while we knew most of it, its nice to hear analysts become more confident and state the obvious 1 MNTA patent estate on characterization vs none for TEVA 2 NO HIT issues for generic
The continued weakness and churning of shares, and almost 5-6 million shorts is exasperating.
There is speculation that MNTA’s growing heparin characterization patent estate may enjoin Teva from commercializing a generic enox despite FDA approval.
I like that part.
In fact, I suggested it (on this board) before anyone else that I know of.
:-)
The problem of proof will be difficult, as will applicability of the patents.
Teva previouslyindicated its generic enox would be approved imminently, but now guides to approval around the end of the year, similar to our estimate.
I wouldn't be surprised if TEVA continues to use this tactic of saying approval is right around the corner. Then when the corner comes, it announces a new corner.
