PTAB finds Sun Pharma’s patent '028 unpatentable, a win for Biofrontera in patent dispute
Biofrontera Inc.
- PTAB issued Final Written Decision on Feb 23, 2026, invalidating all challenged claims of Sun's U.S. Patent No. 11,697,028.
- Sun may request rehearing, petition the Director, or appeal to the Federal Circuit.
- Decision does not affect the separate '512 patent; that IPR petition was denied on administrative grounds.
- Impact on parallel District Court and ITC proceedings is not yet determinable.
