We intend to vigorously enforce our intellectual property rights around ZUBSOLV®. While every case is unique, we will benefit from the work and efforts from previous cases. ZUBSOLV® is important to Orexo, and we are confident our new digital therapies and pharmaceutical pipeline, including four US product launches in the coming two years, represent a significant value opportunity and will not be impacted by this and our other legal process."
