Enanta Pharmaceuticals (ENTA) announced that the United States District Court of Massachusetts has issued a ruling on a summary judgment motion filed by Pfizer (PFE) in connection with Enanta’s patent infringement lawsuit seeking damages for infringement of U.S. Patent No. 11,358,953 in the manufacture, use and sale of Pfizer’s COVID-19 antiviral, Paxlovid. The Court issued a summary judgment decision granting Pfizer’s motion that the ‘953 Patent is invalid. In its decision, the Court also denied Enanta’s partial motion for summary judgment of infringement as moot in light of its allowance of summary judgment on invalidity. Enanta plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
