Endo Pharmaceuticals Settles Patent Case, Will Cease Generic OxyContin Sales

Endo Pharmaceuticals Holdings Inc. (ENDP) will stop sales of generic OxyContin by the end of the year after reaching a settlement with Purdue Frederick Co., P.F. Laboratories Inc., and Euro-Celtique S.A., over a long-running patent litigation claiming that Endo's oxycodone extended-release tablets in doses of 10, 20, 40 and 80 milligrams -- a bioequivalent version of Purdue Frederick's OxyContin -- infringed three of Purdue's U.S. patents.
"We are pleased to have reached a resolution of our dispute with Purdue that relieves us of the risk of patent infringement liability for selling our oxycodone extended-release products, and allows us to continue selling the products for a period of time," said Caroline B. Manogue, executive vice president and chief legal officer.
Endo says they will now focus on the launch of Opana(R) and Opana(R) ER, its recently approved oxymorphone immediate- and extended-release products. More details about the litigation history and the settlement from Endo's press release.
