Mylan v. GlaxoSmithKline (Breach of Generic Paxil Agreements)
Pharmaceutical company Mylan claimed that GlaxoSmithKline breached an agreement regarding Mylan’s abbreviated new drug application for paroxetine hydrochloride (“Paxil”) extended-release (ER) tablets. Pursuant to the agreement, Mylan obtained certain intellectual property rights from Glaxo and launched its generic Paxil ER tablets in May 2008.
