Cephalon Notified of Generic Fentanyl Buccal Tablet Filing
Date:4/24/2008

FRAZER, Pa., April 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cephalon, Inc., (Nasdaq: CEPH) today announced its receipt of a Paragraph IV Certification Notice Letter relating to an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by Watson Laboratories, Inc., requesting approval to market and sell a generic version of FENTORA(R) (fentanyl buccal tablet) [C-II]. In its Notice Letter, Watson alleges that the U.S. Patent Numbers 6,200,604 and 6,974,590 covering FENTORA are invalid, unenforceable and/or will not be infringed by Watson's manufacture, use or sale of the product described in its ANDA.

Cephalon currently is reviewing the Notice Letter and, by statute, has 45 days to initiate a patent infringement lawsuit against Watson. Such a lawsuit would automatically prevent the FDA from approving the Watson ANDA until the earlier of a district court decision or 30 months from the company's receipt of the Notice Letter.

Cephalon has a three-year period of marketing exclusivity for FENTORA that extends until September 2009. Additionally, the method of use patents described above expire in 2019.
