We previously reported on Bristol-Myers Squibb's ("BMS") complaint alleging AstraZeneca's PD-L1 antibody product, IMFINZI (durvalumab), infringed U.S. Patent No. 9,402,899 ("the '899 patent"). BMS alleged that the '899 patent covers "Nobel Prize winning methods of treating cancer" by using "an antibody to inhibit the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 to treat cancer in patients."

On July 31, 2023, the district court judge ordered the dismissal.
