Aquestive Therapeutics today received news that The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned the preliminary injunction against Dr. Reddy's Laboratories ("DRL") as it relates to Suboxone® (buprenorphine / naloxone) Sublingual Film.

"While we are disappointed by the court's decision, we will continue to work with Indivior to vigorously pursue ongoing infringement cases against DRL and other generic manufacturers in order to protect the Suboxone patent portfolio. Today's action does nothing to change the validity and assertability of any of the patents in our portfolio," said Keith Kendall, CEO of Aquestive Therapeutics.

"It is important to remember that our proprietary products are the future of our business. We have made significant progress this year advancing our proprietary portfolio and late-stage pipeline. We recently launched Sympazan™ (clobazam) Oral Film and are progressing toward the regulatory filings of Libervant™ (diazepam) Buccal Film and Exservan™ (riluzole) Oral Film. These near-term products as well as the rest of our development pipeline represent a promising future for Aquestive as we work to deliver meaningful medicines that help simplify treatment for patients and caregivers with rare forms of epilepsy and complicated diseases."
