Is the bat­tle over 'skin­ny' gener­ic la­bels head­ed to the Supreme Court?

The US ap­peals court for the fed­er­al cir­cuit re­cent­ly de­nied Te­va Phar­ma­ceu­ti­cals’ re­quest to re­hear a case on so-called “skin­ny” la­bels that sent shock­waves across the gener­ic drug in­dus­try.

That de­nial means that Te­va may shift its ap­peal to the US Supreme Court, which is a dis­tinct pos­si­bil­i­ty, giv­en how high-stakes this case is, and how it af­fects al­most every gener­ic drug and ref­er­ence prod­uct. Te­va did not im­me­di­ate­ly re­spond to our re­quest for com­ment but told oth­er me­dia out­lets that it is tak­ing the case to SCO­TUS, which ex­perts said may ac­tu­al­ly hear the case.
