Heron Therapeutics announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued a decision in the patent litigation between Heron and Azurity Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Azurity Pharmaceuticals India and Slayback Pharma, with respect to Cinvanti injectable emulsion, holding that the asserted claims of company's U.S. Patent Nos. 12,115,255 and 12,290,520 are invalid. This decision has no impact on any prior settlement agreement related to Cinvanti injectable emulsion or Aponvie injectable emulsion.
