Jul 18, 2008 - Allergan, Inc. (NYSE:AGN) announced today that it has agreed to dismiss its legal action against Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. ("Jan Marini"), one of the defendants in Allergan's patent infringement lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The dismissal is based on Jan Marini acknowledging the validity of Allergan's relevant patents covering the use of certain drug substances, such as prostaglandin analogs, to promote eyelash enhancement and also agreeing to cease its distribution of eyelash products containing these ingredients in the United States and other countries worldwide where Allergan owns related patents.
As recently announced, Allergan has completed a clinical program with its patented formulation of bimatoprost, a synthetic prostaglandin analog, and will pursue United States Food and Drug Administration approval to market a product to stimulate eyelash growth in the United States.
