Should SCO­TUS hear Am­gen's Repatha case? So­lic­i­tor gen­er­al says no

Back in April, Am­gen said it was en­cour­aged by the so­lic­i­tor gen­er­al’s an­tic­i­pat­ed re­view of its Supreme Court pe­ti­tion to re­hear a Repatha patent case. They’re like­ly much less op­ti­mistic about the out­come now.

So­lic­i­tor Gen­er­al Eliz­a­beth Prel­og­ar wrote in a re­cent 27-page brief that Am­gen’s ar­gu­ments “lack mer­it and fur­ther re­view is not war­rant­ed.”

The case traces back to a suit filed in 2014 against Sanofi and Re­gen­eron’s Pralu­ent, which end­ed up beat­ing Am­gen’s PC­SK9 block­buster Repatha to mar­ket by a month just a year lat­er.
