US Federal Court reverses CAR-T infringement decision

Aug 26, 2021

The US Federal Circuit reversed an infringement judgement against Kite Pharma (part of Gilead Pharma) of a patent relating to CAR-T therapies on the basis of lack of written description.  The Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research owned patent at issue was licenced exclusively to Juno Therapeutics (now part of BMS).  Kite Pharma’s CAR-T therapy is Yescarta® (axicabtagene ciloleucel), which competes with Juno’s Breyanzo® (lisocabtagene maraleucel).
