By Pharmaceutical Processing | May 13, 2010

Shire plc a global specialty biopharmaceutical company, has announced that its subsidiary Shire LLC has filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against Actavis Elizabeth LLC and Actavis Inc. for the infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,854,290 (the ’290 patent), 6,287,599 (the ’599 patent), and 6,811,794 (the ’794 patent).
