Mylan, Inc. Research Reports
On July 23, 2014, Mylan, Inc. (Mylan) announced that it has won motion for temporary restraining order from the U.S. District Court, blocking Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corporation from selling a generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's Paxil® CR. The development came almost a week after the District Court prohibited GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) from supplying Paroxetine CR to Apotex, which marketed the product as an authorized generic. In its latest ruling, the Court has also ordered Apotex to immediately recall all product from its direct customers that was shipped since the injunction was entered against GSK on July 16, 2014. According to Mylan, it has an exclusive license to an Orange Book patent pertaining to Paxil CR which expires in July 2016, with pediatric exclusivity extending until January 19, 2017. Mylan also believes that it is the only company to have successfully developed an FDA-approved generic version of this product.
