The appeal by Vanderbilt was rejected by the U.S Supreme Court on January 24th, Monday. This case fought by Vanderbilt against ICOS (The International Council On Security and Development) regarding the joint inventor ship of the three other Vanderbilt scientists who were Dr. Jackie Corbin, Dr. Sharron Francis and Dr. Sekhar Konjeti. The ICOS were the ones who held these patents for the Cialis.
It has been said that these scientists were working on this project before ICOS started handling it. These scientists were working on that when GLAXO was in charge of the project.
Before the Supreme Court rejected the hearing, this case was lost by Vanderbilt in the district and the Appellate court. These scientists were disappointed with the hearing as they expected that even thought the lower courts were against them, they would get justice at the Supreme Court.
Leona Marx, the Associate Counsel at Vanderbilt’s Office of General Counsel said that the Corbin, Francis and Konjeti were the inventories of this drug Cialis as they were the ones who developed it in the initial stage. They stated that’s they have given them a lot of information to GLAXO both face to face and written. They told them about the PDE – 5 inhibitor that could aid one in curbing impotence.
However Marx is not further going to try and appeal it again. He states that the decision of Supreme Court is full and final.
