Ontario Hospital Sued by Bayer
Quote:
Sandoz received Health Canada approval last year to market a concentrated, generic version that must be diluted before use, prompting Bayer to sue the generic firm. In a decision in April, however, the Federal Court denied Bayer's request for a temporary injunction halting sales of the Sandoz cipro until the case comes to trial.
That did not stop the German-based company from going after the Thunder Bay hospital.
The statement of claim Bayer filed in Federal Court alleges the hospital took the contentious Sandoz cipro and diluted it to the same concentration as the brand-name version.

So the generic firm (Sandro) is still allowed to sell the drug (even though a patent court case is still pending), but anyone who buys the drug may be sued by Bayer.
