The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear Amgen Inc's bid to revive patents on its cholesterol drug Repatha that were invalidated due to a legal challenge by rivals Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc and Sanofi SA .

The justices took up Amgen's appeal of the lower court ruling that threw out the Repatha patents. Amgen and other drugmakers have called the case a test of their ability to earn and defend patents for important drugs.

An Amgen spokesperson said the company was encouraged by the decision and "firmly believes in the validity of its patents." A spokesperson for Regeneron said it is the company's "longstanding belief" that Amgen's patents are invalid, and it expects a decision from the high court by the end of June 2023.Thousand Oaks, California-based Amgen sold more than $1.1 billion worth of Repatha worldwide last year.

Amgen sued French drugmaker Sanofi and Tarrytown, New York-based partner Regeneron shortly after they sought regulatory approval for Praluent.

Washington state court temporarily blocks Albertsons' $4 bln dividend payoutA state court in Washington has temporarily blocked Albertsons Companies Inc from paying a $4 billion dividend to shareholders before the grocery chain closes its proposed deal with rival Kroger Co , documents filed said on Thursday. I wish Bob cared about the poverty, homelessness, bad Mobile parks just as much. If the deal hasn’t been approved and the dividend payout was negotiated as part of the deal, then the payout can wait six months for the approval.
