Mylan,  Inc.  Analyst  Notes
On May 15, 2014, Mylan Inc. (Mylan) commented on the ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against Teva in their suit against the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), denying Teva's motion to block FDA from approving generic versions of Copaxone and dismissed the case for lack of jurisdiction. Heather Bresch, CEO, Mylan, quoted, "Teva's suit against FDA was simply a desperate, last minute tactic, among others, to delay access to more affordable generic versions of Copaxone® for patients in the U.S. Following the Court's decision against Teva, we continue to see no barrier to FDA approval of Mylan's generic Copaxone following patent expiry, and we look forward to being able to launch this very important first generic product for multiple sclerosis at market formation."
