Fed. Circ. Judge Skeptical Amgen Cholesterol Drug IP Is Valid
Law360 (December 9, 2020, 7:48 PM EST) A Federal Circuit judge told an attorney Wednesday he faced an uphill battle in showing two Amgen patents on cholesterol-lowering drug Repatha are valid, casting doubt on the biopharmaceutical giant s closely watched bid to undo a district court win for its rival Sanofi.
U.S. Circuit Judge Alan D. Lourie chimed in about 20 seconds after Amgen attorney Jeffrey A. Lamken started making his argument during Wednesday s remote hearing that a Delaware federal judge wrongly overturned a jury verdict after determining the evidence didn t support Amgen s conclusion that the patent claims are enabled, meaning that a skilled artisan could make or use.
