On <span class=\"xn-chron\">March 2, 2021<\/span>, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of <span class=\"xn-location\">West Virginia<\/span> found that the asserted claims of AstraZeneca&#8217;s Symbicort patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 7,759,328, 8,143,239, and 8,575,137, are not invalid for obviousness. Viatris and Kindeva disagree with the district court decision. While the trial court decision prevents commercial launch at this time, the companies intend to file an appeal to continue vigorously defending their position that the patents are invalid. Viatris and Kindeva are committed to bringing a generic Symbicort to market as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This FDA tentative approval reflects the strength of the partnership between Viatris and Kindeva, and further demonstrates Kindeva&#8217;s industry-leading capabilities in formulation, development, and manufacturing of complex combination products,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Aaron Mann<\/span>, CEO of Kindeva Drug Delivery. &#8220;Once final FDA approval is achieved, Kindeva looks forward to providing Viatris with reliable, quality supply from our state-of-the-art commercial filling and packaging lines in our <span class=\"xn-location\">Northridge, California<\/span> facility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Viatris has not planned any revenue for 2021 from generic Symbicort, and the product&#8217;s potential launch revenue was not included in the company&#8217;s recently announced 2021 financial guidance. <\/p>\n<p>Symbicort had U.S. branded sales of <span class=\"xn-money\">$3.5 billion<\/span> for the 12 months ending <span class=\"xn-chron\">January 2021<\/span>, according to IQVIA.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>About Viatris<br \/><\/b>Viatris Inc.
