Neurocrine settles all INGREZZA patent litigations; generic entry starts March 1, 2038
NEUROCRINE BIOSCIENCES INC
- Resolved patent litigation with Zydus; Zydus can sell generic INGREZZA from Oct 1, 2038 (or earlier under certain circumstances).
- Prior settlements with Sandoz, Teva, and Lupin allow generic entry from March 1, 2038, subject to earlier triggers.
- All ANDA-filing companies now settled, blocking generic competition until at least 2038, a significant IP win.
- Settlements require FTC/DOJ review but are standard in Hatch-Waxman litigation.
