As
previously reported, the Federal Court of Appeal (FCA)
dismissed Millennium Pharmaceuticals and Janssen's appeal from
a decision granting Teva's claim for compensation under section
8 of the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance)
Regulations relating to Teva's bortezomib product (Janssen
markets bortezomib as VELCADE). The FCA upheld
Justice Locke's finding that Teva would not have infringed
Patents Nos. 2,203,936 and 2,435,146 because their relevant claims were
invalid for obviousness. On January 3, 2020, Millenium
Pharmaceuticals and Janssen applied to the Supreme Court of Canada
for leave to appeal (Docket No. 39007).
