United Therapeutics Corp. (UTHR) on Wednesday said it agreed to grant to Novartis AG's (NVS) Sandoz Inc. unit a nonexclusive license to sell a generic version of the biotechnology company's hypertension drug Remodulin by June 2018.
The agreement ends a long-running dispute between the two companies, both of which also agreed to end all pending litigation. American depositary shares of Novartis rose 2.9% in recent premarket trading.
Sandoz could be permitted to enter the market sooner under certain circumstances, United Therapeutics said in a news release.
The license excludes other United Therapeutics products, as well as technology related to an implantable version of Remodulin that United Therapeutics is developing with medical-device maker Medtronic PLC (MDT) and a pre-filled semi-disposable pump system being developed with DEKA Research & Development Corp.
United Therapeutics last year won a partial victory in its patent battle with Sandoz, when a federal judge ruled that Sandoz's generic drug application would infringe one of the patents in the legal dispute, potentially protecting Remodulin from generic competition until the second half of 2017.
