New on the Kluwer Patent Blog – Leflunomide or the Risky Life of a Generic Manufacturer in Germany
In its "Leflunomid" decision of 24 July 2012 (Case X ZR 126/09), the Federal Court of Justice (FCJ) declared a patent claim to be invalid which covered a combination of leflunomide and teriflunomide, on the grounds that it had long been known in the prior art (for 100 years) that some leflunomide spontaneously and unavoidably converts teriflunomide over time (by a ring opening process). The combination was therefore obvious to the expert. The decision will be published in the Kluwer IP case databank.
