The trial was conducted by Judge Arnold who rejected the Grimme v Scott-approach in his preliminary decision in January 2015. His argument was simply that the claims in Warner-Lambert’s pregabalin patent are Swiss-type claims, which are process claims protecting the manufacture of the patented drug. Obviously, wholesalers and pharmacists, which are the ultimate users in this case, will not use the generic pregabalin to manufacture a pharmaceutical composition of pregabalin for the treatment of neuropathic pain. However, this was not the end of the lawsuit. For easier understanding, the analysis of the subsequent trial will be divided into direct infringement and indirect infringement argumentations.
