Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit June 7, 2013, Civil Action No. 10-1836 (RMC) (Yeda Research & Development Co. v. Abbott GmbH & Co. KG)

OPINION

ROSEMARY M. COLLYER, District Judge.

The parties in this patent case dispute which was the first to purify and isolate a protein called TBP-II. Working independently in two different countries, Yeda and Abbott filed patent applications just nine days apart in 1989.
