Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 21, 2016, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has upheld a lower court ruling that the Company’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) litigation against Mylan N.V. can continue in the District Court of Delaware. Mylan had appealed to the Federal Circuit after losing its motion to the Delaware District Court to have the patent litigation proceed in West Virginia. As a result of this decision, all of the ANDA litigation related to AMPYRA ® (dalfampridine) Tablets, 10 mg patents will continue to proceed in the District Court of Delaware. Mylan has 30 days to request a rehearing of the case to an en banc panel of the Federal Circuit where the Court can reconsider its ruling. Mylan could also seek an appeal to the Supreme Court. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and incorporated by reference into this Item.
