USPTO rejects Teva’s attempt to re-issue ‘808 Copaxone patent:

This is paradoxically a good outcome for Teva now that the USSC has decided to review the ‘808 patent case on procedural grounds. If the PTO had re-issued the ‘808 patent (with Teva’s changes) under a new patent number, Teva would have had to disclaim the original ‘808 patent, which would have made the USSC review null and void.
