Mylan Inc. Applauds Court's Ruling Dismissing Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited's Suit Against FDA On Copaxone®

Mylan Applauds Court's Ruling Dismissing Teva's Suit Against FDA on Copaxone®

PITTSBURGH, May 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mylan Inc. (Nasdaq: MYL) today commented on the ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Teva in their suit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which denied Teva's motion to block FDA from approving generic versions of Copaxone® and dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Mylan had intervened in this suit in support of FDA.

Mylan CEO Heather Bresch commented, "Teva's suit against FDA was simply a desperate, last minute tactic, among others, to delay access to more affordable generic versions of Copaxone® for patients in the U.S. Following the Court's decision against Teva, we continue to see no barrier to FDA approval of Mylan's generic Copaxone following patent expiry, and we look forward to being able to launch this very important first generic product for multiple sclerosis at market formation."
