Thoughts on Novo/Mylan (Viatris) Dismissing Their Victoza Patent Dispute; Did Viatris Just Abandon Its Generic?
On March 31, 2021, Novo Nordisk and Mylan (now Viatris) dismissed all claims from a US patent dispute over generic Victoza (view court documents). Recall, in August 2019, Novo filed a lawsuit against Mylan over Mylan’s ANDA Paragraph IV filing of a generic Victoza asserting that it was infringing upon 7 Novo patents. No further details regarding the agreement to dismiss the case were disclosed, and neither Novo nor Viatris has issued a press release. Below, FENIX provides thoughts on the litigation dismissal and how the evolving GLP-1RA market dynamics through 2025 could suggest Viatris will no longer pursue generic Victoza in the US.
