OPINION & ORDER
STEIN, District Judge.
After trial on the merits, this Court finds that Apotex, Inc. and Apotex Corporation (collectively, “Apotex”) have failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that U.S. Patent No. 4,847,265 is invalid or unenforceable on any of the grounds asserted. Accordingly, Sanofi-Aventis, Sa-nofi-Synthelabo, Inc. and Bristol-Myers Squibb Sanofi Pharmaceuticals Holding Partnership (collectively, “Sanofi”) are entitled to permanent injunctive relief and, as shall be determined by the Court in a future proceeding, damages.
This action concerns a patent dispute…
