    More to this than meets the eye. Hopefully,your leaders will clue you in on what's going on. Why educate the sales force on important matters?

    It also looks like, effective immediately we ended our epilepsy contract, posted on the home page so something major is happening.

    Ok, so I looked it up on the US Patent site. Patent #5,563,175 which is for Lyrica use as an anticonvulsant was issued in October 1996. 17 years after that equals October of 2013! If you want to confirm, just Google "generic Lyrica" and check out the first link. So Lyrica loses its patent for epilepsy on October 2013.

    Depending on the doses approved, this could be big trouble for us. Seems like we can do nothing right. It's as if God is punishing Pfizer or something. Maybe the ELT is involved with the occult, dark arts, Scientology or some freak practice.

    "we won" what????

    Winning a patent infringement or patent attack means that Pfizer keeps the drug until its original patent expiry date.

    this is 10-2013, not earlier like the generic companies sued for, idget.

    So how is the patent expert wrong?

    Is does look like Lyrica will still be going generic in Oct of next year for treatment of seizure disorders. Will be interesting to see if managed care will force generic Lyrica for other indications then.

    Once one indication goes it all comes down. Managed Care approves off-label generic scripts all the time for one reason...COST.

    Looks like the "Idget" is right and you are wrong. Pfizer and that evil greedy Northwestern University won the lawsuit yesterday. No generic through 2018. You must not have gotten the memo. Please keep ejakating us on patents.

    Sure believe a pfizer email over the FDA Orange Book, dumbass.

    Pfizer is always right and never misleads anyone, especially employees. Go edjakulate on yourself over the email you trust so much. I'll do my own learning, kool-aid clown.

    Glad you are back. Pfizer email? Maybe the news reports are forged. Like the first link up on the CP board. Please teach us more.

    Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE; LSE: PFZ) has won its patent infringement case against Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE: TEVA; TASE: TEVA) over Pfizer's pain reliever Lyrica. The US District Court for the District of Delaware ruled on Thursday that Pfizer's patents were valid through 2018.
    Pfizer sued Teva and other companies, which sought to market generic versions of Lyrica, in 2009, arguing that this infringed Pfizer's patents. The verdict is a blow for Teva, as brand Lyrica had $3.7 billion in US sales in 2011. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Lyrica in 2004.

    When Will There Be a Generic Lyrica?

    The patent for Lyrica currently expires in October 2013. This is the earliest possible date that a generic version of Lyrica could become available. However, there are other circumstances that could come up to extend the exclusivity period of Lyrica beyond 2013. These circumstances could include things such as lawsuits or other patents for specific Lyrica uses. Once Lyrica goes off patent, there may be several companies that manufacture a generic Lyrica drug.

    Three Lyrica patents were challenged by the generic drug makers: one covering the active ingredient pregabalin and expiring in December 2018; a second covering a method for using pregabalin to treat seizure disorders and expiring in October 2013; and a third covering methods for using pregabalin to treat pain and expiring in December 2018.
