First up this week is a team at Covington & Burling that knocked out a $107.5 million patent infringement verdict facing pharmaceutical client AstraZeneca tied to Tagrisso, its drug used to treat certain types of non-small cell lung cancer. After a five-day trial in May, federal jurors in Delaware found that AstraZeneca induced infringement of two patents held by Wyeth. But U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly this week found the Wyeth patents invalid for lack of written description and granted AstraZeneca's motion for judgment as a matter of law. The Covington team on the matter includes Chris Sipes, Megan Keane, Einar Stole, Jason Fowler, Kaveh Saba, Eric Sonnenschein, Priscilla Dodson, Ashley Winkler, Alex Trzeciak, Melissa Keech, Robert McMullen, Elaine Nguyen, Toby Ma, Danute Abrishami and Mark Gelsinger, with Delaware counsel at Shaw Keller.
