Valganciclovir for Re-examination

My apologies regarding the conclusion of the news….

Actually, Madras High Court has ordered a re-examination of the Patent Application but has specifically stated that the Patent Office should consider only the Pre-grant Opposition filed by Lawyers’ Collective while re-examination and no other opposition.

We had news that Pharma companies like Ranbaxy, Cipla etc. had already filed the Post-Grant Opposition in the said matter. Lets see what happens to these Opposition. It seems that these Opposition will be kept pending till the decision of the this re-examination.
