Innovator Hoffman-La Roche won a partial victory in its legal battle against India’s Cipla Ltd over anti-infection drug valganciclovir, with the Bombay high court ruling in favour of the Swiss company in a trademark infringement case. Mumbai high Court has stopped Cipla from using Valcept trade name as it’s similar to trade name Valcyte used by innovator Roche.
However, the court adjourned a patent infringement case for eight weeks because Roche’s patent on the drug itself has been set aside by the Madras high court till 31 January. A Tamilnaidu based NGO has filed pre-grant opposition against Roche’s patent on valganciclovir.
