Shield Therapeutics PLC said Monday that competitor Teva
Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. has withdrawn all its oppositions
against the company's patents.
"Teva has withdrawn both its appeal against the European Patent
Office's decision with regard to Shield's patent number 2668175,
which covers a 'process for preparing an iron hydroxypyrone' and
their opposition with regard to Shield's patent number 3160951
which covers 'crystalline forms of ferric maltol," the
pharmaceutical company said.
This means that both patents are maintained and will continue to
provide protection, Shield said.
