According to a statement by Boryung Co., Ltd., it won the invalidation trial against Sanofi-Aventis regarding its carcinostatis substance ‘Taxotere (docetaxel).’
The Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal (KIPT) found in favor of Boryung, stating that Sanofi-Aventis’s patent did not meet the conditions required for a valid patent because there was no submitted information regarding data, physical/chemical characteristics, purpose, or effects that may be used to verify the generation of docetaxel (ingredient for Taxotere).
As a result, Sanofi-Aventis’s patent was invalidated.
The pharmaceutical industry expects an increase in generic sales of products that utilize docetaxel as its main ingredient.
