Pfizer filed suit that same month in Norfolk, Va., seeking to stop generic manufacturers Lupin, Teva, Mylan, Watson (now Activis), and Apotex from proceeding with their plans to market a generic version of celecoxib after the May 30, 2014, expiration of the Pfizer's first two patents on Celebrex. Pfizer sought a declaration that the reissue patent was valid, while the generics sought the opposite. Each side moved for summary judgment — a ruling based on the papers, without a trial — and on Wednesday U.S. District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen ruled for the generics.
