LG Chem Beats Suit Over Genetic Database License, For Now
Law360 (March 11, 2021, 11:35 PM EST) A Delaware federal judge on Thursday granted LG Chem s bid to dismiss a breach of contract suit over a genetic database licensing agreement, finding that several claims against LG are time-barred and that a genomics company lacks the authority to enforce the agreement.
In a 19-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika axed India-based Ocimum Biosolutions Ltd. s suit against LG Chem, finding that a number of Ocimum s claims were raised too late and that Ocimum s U.S. subsidiary rather than Ocimum itself is the assignee to the licensing agreement in question.

Del. Justices Affirm AstraZeneca Win In Lifted-Data Suit
Law360 (February 11, 2021, 3:34 PM EST) The Delaware Supreme Court on Thursday affirmed a decision that let AstraZeneca UK Ltd. out of a $33.8 million suit brought by India-based Ocimum Biosolutions Ltd. alleging AstraZeneca made unauthorized use of a human gene dataset, agreeing with a Superior Court judge that claims are time-barred.
In a brief order, a three-justice panel upheld Superior Court Judge Abigail M. LeGrow s 2019 ruling that the statute of limitations for claims brought by Ocimum in the suit had expired by the time the action was filed. The suit was filed in August 2015 and amended multiple times since.
