Court Grants AstraZeneca Preliminary Injunction Against Apotex in PULMICORT RESPULES Patent Litigation
Date:5/20/2009

WILMINGTON, Del., May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On May 20, 2009, the US District Court for the District of New Jersey granted the request of AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) for an injunction barring Apotex (Apotex, Inc. and Apotex Corp.) from launching a generic version of AstraZeneca's PULMICORT RESPULES (budesonide inhalation suspension) in the US. No trial date for the patent litigation has been set.

On March 30, 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration granted approval for a generic version of AstraZeneca's PULMICORT RESPULES to Apotex. AstraZeneca then filed suit following Apotex's indication of intent to market a generic version of AstraZeneca's PULMICORT RESPULES in the US prior to the expiration of AstraZeneca's patents.

AstraZeneca has full confidence in the strength of its intellectual property rights protecting PULMICORT RESPULES and will continue to vigorously defend and enforce its intellectual property.

Patents covering PULMICORT RESPULES expire in 2018 with pediatric exclusivity extending to 2019.
