The English Patents Court's decisions in Dr Reddy's v Eli Lilly (Floyd J – 13 October 2008) and Generics (UK) v Daiichi (Kitchin J – 15 October 2008) are further welcome news for patentees. In both instances the patent (for a compound within the scope of a "Markush formula" of an earlier patent application in the first case and for an enantiomer in the second case) was upheld.
