Federal court rules against Mylan in MS drug case

PITTSBURGH — A federal court has ruled against Mylan in a case filed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries over a drug to treat multiple sclerosis.



The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled Monday that Mylan's proposed generic version of the drug Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) infringed Teva's patents.



Mylan responded that it was "disappointed" by the decision and would appeal once it had the opportunity to review it in full.
