PHOENIX, March 10, 2016 -- Insys Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insys” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ:INSY) today announced that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) declined to institute an inter partes review of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,486,972, 8,835,459 and 8,835,460, which cover the fentanyl formulation of SUBSYS® (fentanyl sublingual spray).
“SUBSYS is the first and only sublingual spray available for breakthrough cancer pain. This dismissal is indicative of the pioneering efforts by Insys to bring innovative therapies to patients to manage their underlying constant cancer pain,” said Dr. John N. Kapoor, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Insys. “As a Company, we remain committed to the defense and vigorous enforcement of our intellectual property estate with the goal of creating long-term shareholder value.”
In addition to the four U.S. patents granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Insys was recently granted one additional U.S. Patent 9,241,935 covering the SUBSYS formulation, further strengthening the SUBSYS patent estate.
