VIAGRA PATENT UPHELD
CHICAGO--APOTEX INC., sued Pfizer over its Viagra Patent. The Canadian court ruled that a proposed generic impotence drug from Ontario-based Apotex would have infringed a Viagra patent. Under the ruling, Apotex cannot launch a generic version of Viagra until 2014 when the patent expires. A spokesman for Apotex stated that the "wives" of its customers will find it very "hard" to have to wait for 7 years to receive Apotex "generic" version of Viagra for 1/8 the cost of Viagra
