Recently, Bristol-Myers Squibb filed a lawsuit in the District Court of Delaware, suing AstraZeneca's blockbuster oncology drug Imfinzi for infringing at least eight patents related to Opdivo
.
It is reported that the eight patents are '505, '507, '299, '714, '594, '595, '596 and '092
.
In the lawsuit, Bristol-Myers Squibb said AstraZeneca willfully infringed those patents by marketing Imfinzi as a "late-stage development" treatment
.
In late 2014, Opdivo was launched globally for the treatment of advanced melanoma
.
Since then, Bristol-Myers Squibb has expanded its indications to include renal cell carcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, lymphoma, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck cancer,
etc.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Bristol-Myers Squibb has filed a patent lawsuit against its competitor in the PD-(L)1 field
.
As early as 2017, Merck paid Bristol-Myers Squibb as much as $625 million to resolve the Keytruda patent issue and agreed to pay royalties based on Keytruda sales until 2026
.
Patent disputes are not uncommon in the pharmaceutical industry
.
Just last week, AstraZeneca paid $775 million to Roche Chugai Pharmaceutical to settle all patent disputes related to the C5 inhibitor Ultomiris
.
