According to Reuters News Agency, Bayer has dropped one of its lawsuits against Teva, in which it claimed Teva was infringing Bayer's Yaz oral contraceptive drug by selling the generic version, called Gianvi.
Teva is the world's largest generic drug maker. It makes knock off generic versions of drugs. Teva will soon find itself as a defendant once its Ocella and Gianvi versions of Yaz and Yasmin start to cause the harmful effects suffered by those who take Yaz and Yasmin.
Apparently Bayer has engaged in a little "forum shopping" and will pursue Teva in Nevada on a claim of patent infringement.
The Delaware case is Bayer Schering Pharma AG and Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc v Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc, Barr Pharmaceuticals LLC and Barr Laboratories Inc, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware, No. 10-cv-00474.
The Nevada case is Bayer Schering Pharma AG and Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals Inc v Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc, Barr Pharmaceuticals LLC and Barr Laboratories Inc, U.S. District Court, District of Nevada, No. 10-cv-00872.
