GURGAON, India and PRINCETON, N.J., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Ranbaxy Laboratories Limited (Ranbaxy) announced today that the Company has reached an agreement with Astellas/Boehringer Ingelheim to stipulate a remand of the pending Federal Circuit appeal and subsequent vacatur of the District Court decision in regards to Flomax(R) (Tamsulosin capsules). The case between Ranbaxy and Astellas/Boehringer Ingelheim has been dismissed without prejudice. The lawsuit in the U.S. was related to Astellas' U.S. Patent No. 4,703,063 ('063 patent), covering Tamsulosin and its use in the treatment for functional symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Under the agreement, Ranbaxy will enter the U.S. market on March 2, 2010, eight weeks prior to expiration of the pediatric exclusivity, which is likely to be granted to the innovator company.
