Litigators of the Week: Defending Against a $290M Claim and Scoring a $116M Win in Drug Patent Fight

January 9, 2025

The AmLaw Litigation Daily

The AmLaw Litigation Daily named Finnegan and Latham & Watkins as Litigators of the Week for the team's $116M victory on behalf of client Sarepta Therapeutics. A federal jury in Delaware determined that Nippon Shinyaku had infringed a patent owned by the University of Western Australia (UWA) and licensed to Sarepta to treat Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, a degenerative muscular disorder. The AmLaw Litigation Daily interview included Finnegan partner Bill Raich, who co-led the trial team, to discuss the story behind the case and how they helped Sarepta secure this substantial verdict.
