Actavis PLC (ACT) said Thursday that a U.S. federal court has ruled that its generic version of Novartis' Exelon Patch infringes certain patents.

Exelon Patch is a prescription medicine used to treat people with mild to moderate dementia associated with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease.

Actavis said in a statement that it is reviewing the decision of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and will evaluate all available options, including an appeal.

Actavis' new drug application for its generic version of Exelon Patch is currently pending with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the company said.

Earlier this month, Vivus Inc. (VVUS) said it filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against Actavis PLC (ACT) alleging that the drug maker's planned generic version of weight-loss drug Qsymia infringes its patents.
