Perkins Coie attorneys recognized as Mylan Pharmaceutical's representation in Law360* article, "Tribe Not Immune From Restasis IP Challenges, PTAB Says."

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board ruled that tribal sovereign immunity does not apply to inter partes reviews and dismissed a motion to toss generics companies' challenges to patents. A panel of three administrative patent judges unanimously ruled there is no controlling precedent or statutory basis for the application of tribal immunity in inter partes review proceedings and found the drugmaker is effectively still the patent owner.

The article notes that Mylan is represented by Brandon M. White of Perkins Coie LLP. The Perkins Coie team included Eric Miller, Chuck Curtis, Jena McLean and Shannon Bloodworth.
