This article concerns Bass's challenge to a patent related to the drug Ampyra of the company Acorda (US Patent No. 8,663,685 ; IPR2015-00720 ):


The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is expected to say by Wednesday whether there’s merit in the first of Bass’s 20 drug-patent challenges, this one targeting Acorda Therapeutics Inc.’s multiple sclerosis drug Ampyra. The agency will institute a formal review if it thinks Bass has a chance of winning.
