Summary

Pharmaceutical giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd has filed a High Court case against Mylan Teoranta, trading as Mylan International, a Galway‑based subsidiary of the multinational Mylan group. Teva alleges that Mylan has infringed its patents on a 40 mg/ml glatiramer acetate injection used three times a week by patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The product is manufactured in Galway and sold on the US market. Mylan denies the infringement claims. Teva seeks several orders, including an injunction to stop Mylan from making, offering or marketing the alleged infringing product, a declaration that such marketing constitutes a trademark infringement, and an order for damages. The case was admitted to the fast‑track commercial court list by Mr Justice Brian McGovern and is scheduled to return before the court in January. The proceedings remain ongoing, with no final judgment yet issued.
