(TEVA), Actavis Plc (ACT) and Lupin Ltd. (LPC) are among the generic-drug makers that would infringe a valid patent on the pain medicine, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington said in an opinion today on its website. The other generic-drug makers in the case were Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., Wockhardt Ltd. and Mylan Inc.
