The long-running patent dispute between Amgen ($AMGN) and Regeneron($REGN) and Sanofi over their competing PCSK9-inhibitors (Repatha® and Praluent®) has reached another milestone.  The case also represents another milestone in the changing landscape for patents covering biologic drugs.  The Amgen decision is at least the second district court decision this year that has invalidated biologic antibody patents under the doctrine of enablement.  The earlier decision related to MorphoSys patents asserted against Janssen related to Darzalex®.  The takeaway is clear:  as biologic drugs take up a larger share of the pharmaceutical medications in the U.S., courts are making it harder for drug companies to use overly-broad patents to corner the market on a particular inhibitor.
