Courts - SCOTUS declines to hear challenge to Zyprexa patent

Updating this Dec. 27, 2006 ILB entry, headed "Lilly wins major Zyprexa patent case," (and including a link to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit 23-page opinion in the case of Eli Lilly v. Zenith Goldline Pharmaceuticals), the Indianapolis Star's Maureen Groppe reports today that:

The Supreme Court has declined to hear a patent challenge to Zyprexa, the world's top selling schizophrenia drug and the top revenue-generating drug of Eli Lilly and Co.

The court without comment Monday let stand a federal appeals court ruling that Lilly's patent is valid.
