Viatris Inc. achieved a favorable outcome in a patent dispute with Novo Nordisk concerning the drug Wegovy. A Delaware court ruled that Viatris’s drug does not infringe a specific limitation of a Wegovy patent.
The court's decision focused on the 'administered without another therapeutic agent' limitation, finding in favor of Viatris. This ruling represents a significant legal victory for the company.
This outcome removes a potential legal hurdle for Viatris and could have positive implications for its competitive positioning. It may also pave the way for future generic competition in the market for similar weight-loss drugs, reducing litigation risk for Viatris.
