Liquidia faces new PH-ILD patent infringement suit from United Therapeutics on '327 Patent
Liquidia Corp
- United Therapeutics filed amended complaint Nov 30, 2023, alleging YUTREPIA infringes new '327 Patent covering inhaled treprostinil for PH-ILD.
- The '327 Patent issued Nov 28, 2023; Liquidia argues no 30-month stay because it issued after original NDA filing.
- Ongoing IPR of '793 Patent: PTAB ruled claims unpatentable; appeal pending at Federal Circuit after Dec 4, 2023 oral argument.
- Liquidia intends to vigorously defend; previous Hatch-Waxman ruling still blocks YUTREPIA approval for PH-ILD.
