Cephalon granted Temporary Restraining Order in AMRIX® patent litigation

Today, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware granted a motion filed by plaintiffs Cephalon, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEPH), and Eurand, Inc., for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) enjoining Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Mylan Inc., from manufacturing, using, offering to sell or selling its cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride extended-release capsules, a generic version of Cephalon’s branded product AMRIX®. The TRO remains in effect pending appeal.
