I have tried to post the chronology of the action on the Lipitor patents but each time I try to submit it, receive an error message. An abridged version.

The USPTO rejected ALL 44 claims.

While Pfizer was challenging this decision, they were also litigating in Europe.

Please note that after settlement, litigation continued in Spain.

Subsequent to the Spanish court confirming validity, the EPO did the same.

Looking further back, the Court of Appeal in the Netherlands declared the patent (EP 409,281) invalid. An appeal was made.


In answer to your question, the European patent is still valid, with Germany recently reconfirming its validity there. To say anything more with any degree of certainty would be impossible as can be seen with the complexity of the Lipitor case.




Be well
