Eli Lilly Canada Inc v Mylan Pharmaceuticals ULC
Counsel to Mylan in multiple related NOC proceedings and appeals relating to patents over CIALIS® (tadalafil); first generic challenge to CIALIS®. Mylan successfully justified allegations of invalidity and non-infringement in respect of a dosage patent and a formulation patent, which allowed Mylan to enter the market four years earlier than it would have otherwise. Lilly abandoned its appeal of the decision on the dosage patent, and the decision on the formulation patent was upheld by the Federal Court of Appeal. (Prior to joining Lenczner Slaght)
