| Winston & Strawn represented Caraco Pharmaceutical Laboratories Ltd. in an action brought by Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical Inc. in the District Court of New Jersey in which Ortho-McNeil asserted that Caraco infringed certain claims of U.S. Reissue Patent No. RE39,221. The patent purported to cover the pain reliever marketed as Ultracet®, which is a combination of tramadol and acetaminophen. The court granted summary judgment for Caraco, holding that Ortho-McNeil’s asserted claims were obvious and therefore invalid as a matter of law. This decision paves the way for Caraco’s continued distribution and sale of its popular generic version of Ultracet®. |
