Ariad v. Lilly

Ariad v. Lilly

Ariad v. Lilly is a United States court case in which Eli Lilly was found to have infringed US patent|6410516 held by Ariad Pharmaceuticals (licensed from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, and the Whitehead Institute). On May 4, 2006 Lilly was ordered to pay ~$65 million in back royalties, and 2.3% royalties on future sales of the drugs Evista and Xigris which inhibit NF-kB.

The case is controversial because the scope of Ariad's patent's claims is viewed by some as going far beyond what is enabled in the patent. fact|date=April 2007 NF-kB regulates over 300 genes, and NF-kB-controlled pathways are relevant to many human diseases. As many as 200 marketed drugs have mechanisms of action that may affect the NF-kB pathway.
