Business Korea has reported that Regeneron has filed patent infringement and prevention claims against Samsung Biologics and its subsidiary Samsung Boepis relating to Eylea® (aflibercept). Regeneron claims that the Samsung Bioepis’ aflibercept (biosimilar to Eylea®) infringes Regeneron’s Korean patents.
This comes only a few days after Samsung Bioepis filed a petition for inter partes review of Regeneron’s US10,130,681, relating to Eylea® in the US.
