A federal judge ruled Thursday that a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas has ended in failure to produce a lawsuit seeking to invalidate a patent on erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. The lawsuit, filed in Texas before U. S. District Judge Rod J. Rosenstein in Los Angeles, alleges the company's marketing practices violated federal and state antitrust laws and infringed the patent on the drug for which the suit was filed.
“The FDA is in a unique position to determine whether to approve a lawsuit on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies that have been alleged to have engaged in illegal, unlawful practices,” wrote Judge Rod J. Rosenstein in the ruling.
The ruling is the first in a series of rulings by the U. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which began in July 2012. The company is the second drug manufacturer to be sued. A lawsuit is currently pending in Texas before U. District Judge Amy K. something called “sensitivity-to-consumers lawsuit” being filed by the state of Texas.
“It is clear from the complaint that Texas is a jurisdiction in which the FDA is uniquely positioned to ensure that a drug’s efficacy and safety can be assessed and regulated by the state,” Dr. Jonathan M. Schreiber, a professor of law at Texas Tech University, said in an e-mailed statement. “Texas has the highest number of state regulatory agencies in the nation, with the FDA and other federal regulatory agencies that have been the subject of numerous state antitrust cases.”
Sensitivity-to-consumers lawsuit was filed by three plaintiffs: Eli Lilly & Co., Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. A class-action suit against the three plaintiffs alleges state law claims of false and fraudulent inducement and unfair competition under the Sherman Act. The suit names three of the three plaintiffs: Pfizer, Bayer, and Merck & Co. The three companies filed suit against Eli Lilly in October 2011, and Mylan in March 2012. The case was filed in federal court in Philadelphia and is pending in federal district court in Missouri. The suit is being filed in the Northern District of Texas.
“Texas has a high number of federal antitrust lawsuits in the United States,” said Dr. Jonathan Schreiber, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a co-chairman of the Texas National Association of Medical Boards. “Texas has a very strong history in the drug industry, and as such, the state has a strong interest in protecting these companies from being hurt.”
The lawsuit is brought under the Anti-Trust and Anti-Competition Act of 1988. It claims that the company knew of the risk that its drugs would have adverse effects on consumers. In response, Eli Lilly said it will not approve the lawsuit.
A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding the suit barred by the Anti-Trust and Anti-Competition Act. The judge dismissed the lawsuit on the ground that the suit failed to show that the plaintiff “has suffered direct or indirect injury from the defendants’ conduct in violation of the antitrust laws.”
The company also filed a lawsuit against the three plaintiffs for infringement of a patent covering Viagra. The suit seeks to invalidate that patent “by failing to disclose a significant risk” and for failure to file a lawsuit against the three plaintiffs.
In addition to the suit, the plaintiffs also are seeking to recover damages from the companies and other individuals. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to properly warn about the potential for adverse effects of its drugs on consumers and also failed to adequately disclose the risk of adverse effects on its own. The suit alleges that the company failed to conduct adequate studies of its drugs’ safety and quality, and also failed to conduct market research on its own, which is not disclosed.
In addition to the suit, the plaintiffs also are seeking to recover damages from Eli Lilly and the three companies.
“A lawsuit seeking to prevent the defendants from making significant investments in research and development of new drugs in the hope that they will bring to market will not be successful.

Viagra generic entryThe story of Viagra’s patents and generic entry of sildenafil citrate is a valuable one because it covers many of the nuances of drug patenting and generic entry in the United States.
This article will describe the multiple patents, patent term extension, pediatric extension, litigation, out-of-court-settlement, and authorized generic fighter brand elements which led to Viagra’s long patent life and limited early entry of generics, and Pfizer’s post generic-entry strategy to limit the impact of competitors.
was approved in 1998, and the original patent covering Viagra was, which received a 283-day patent term extension giving it an expiration date of March 29th, 2012. This 14-year patent life is longer than many other drugs, but Pfizer was able extend the patent-protected life even further.
The ‘534 patent was filed in 1990, and in 1994 (four years prior to Viagra’s launch) Pfizer filed a second patent:. Because the ‘012 patent was filed prior to June 8th 1995 its term is17 years from the grant date, rather than20 years from the filing date, which is how expiration is determined for patents filed after Jun 8th 1995. The ‘012 patent was granted on October 22nd, 2002, so the original expiration date was set to October 22nd, 2019 — more than twenty years after the drug’s launch. The patent’s expiration was extended to April 22nd 2020 because Pfizer responded to an FDA request to perform pediatric clinical trials, granting six months of “” protection.
Pfizer successfully defended Viagra’s patents in many over the years, but one lawsuit stands out. Despite prevailing in awhich affirmed the validity of patent 6,469,012, in 2013 Pfizer announced an, granting Teva a license to manufacture and sell genericstarting in December 2017, more than two years before Viagra’s patent expiration. Importantly, this was not a ‘‘ patent settlement, as Teva was required to pay Pfizer a licensing fee to produce the generic.
Generic drugs sell at a discount to the branded version, which hurts branded revenues, but there are things which brands can do to limit the impact. A popular tactic it to launch an. In this strategy the branded firm licenses a third party to market the branded drug under another name, compelling the generic entrant (in this case Teva) to compete in the generic market. The authorized generic for Viagra was and it was.
Viagra’s 2016 US sales were approximately 1.2 billion, and in 2017 they dropped to less than $800 million. With increased competition from Teva and from Revatio, revenues are expected to keep dropping, and widespread generic competition from the many companies with will further-decrease Viagra sales. It appears that Pfizer is responding to increased competition by increasing Viagra’s price — the has been a general increase over time.
The story of Viagra and the generic entry of sildenafil citrate illustrates the value of data and the need to continuously re-evaluate factors affecting generic entry. Reliance on the first patent would have vastly under-estimated the date of generic entry, and looking solely at the expiration date of the second patent would have missed the December 2017 generic entry.

Viagra patents – review and reviewViagra’s patents were filed prior to June 8th 1995, meaning the original expiration date is October 22nd, 2019.
Dear Dr. Macomb:I am in the process of updating my prescribing information. I realize that I am not in the mood for pills (and certainly not in a pharmacy). I am not taking any of the recommended medications for erectile dysfunction, and I am taking all of the prescribed medications for depression. My psychiatrist prescribed me Viagra (sildenafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). I have heard of the use of Cialis (tadalafil) and Viagra (sildenafil). I can’t afford the price difference.
When I started taking Viagra, I had trouble getting it to work. I didn’t need to take any of the pills. I didn’t have any side effects. I am currently taking it on an empty stomach. I am using the lowest dose of the prescribed medications (i.e. 50 milligrams) and it is working well. I will be taking the highest dose that I can afford. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to reduce the cost of Viagra without increasing the dose?
Thanks,
My doctor prescribed me Cialis (tadalafil) and Cialis (tadalafil). I am not sure if that is a good idea. I am taking the lowest dose of the prescribed medications, and I am not getting any side effects. I am wondering if there are any other options I should be using. I am just curious how this can be done. I am considering trying the Sildenafil (generic version) which I am on and it has worked quite well for me.
Thanks for the detailed response!
I agree with the discussion in your article. I was prescribed Viagra and Cialis and it worked well. I was told it is a good idea to take them both at the same time. I can get Cialis once I take the first pill. My doctor prescribed Viagra to me and I feel good. I don’t have a problem with the Cialis but Cialis has been on for a while. I am glad I did it and that the Sildenafil (generic version) worked well. I also thought it would work well but didn’t feel like using it. I have used this for years and it works. Thanks again!
Thanks for the response! My doctor prescribed me Cialis and Viagra but I still have not gotten any side effects. I don’t have any side effects either. I am on the lowest dose of the prescribed medications and I am happy with it.
You’re correct that the Sildenafil (generic version) is a good idea and has been on the market since 2004. I have heard that it is not safe to take Sildenafil. I would still recommend this drug to others who are using it. I am also using it for my chronic heartburn. I have taken it twice a week for several weeks.
Please be patient and let me know if you need anything else. I am also taking the lowest dose of the prescribed medications. I am going to ask my doctor about the Sildenafil (generic version).
Thank you
The Sildenafil (generic version) is a good idea and has been on the market since 2004. I have heard that it is not safe to take it. I am also taking it for my chronic heartburn. I have been taking it for several weeks. I feel good about it. I am glad I did it.
You may want to check with your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
If you have questions or concerns, feel free to ask. I am also very interested in hearing from patients or healthcare professionals about this medication. Your input can be helpful.
Thanks for the question and recommendation! It makes sense. I did take it for some years and I am pretty happy with it. I can’t afford the cost since I have health insurance. I am on the lowest dose of the prescribed medications. It is a good idea to take it with a meal or a snack. I am wondering if it is safe to take it with food or not?
