Genentech loses at CAFC

Sanofi Aventis v. Genentech

This case requires us to determine whether, based on
a final judgment in the United States that a patent is not
infringed, a party is entitled to an injunction preventing
the patent owner from proceeding in a previously-filed
foreign arbitration of a license to that patent. We conclude
that under Ninth Circuit law and the facts of this
case, the injunction is not warranted. We therefore affirm
the district court’s denial of the injunction.
