Ultragenyx files ANDA patent suit against three generic-drug manufacturers involving DOJOLVI®

Client(s) Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc.

Jones Day represents plaintiff Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. in asserting claims of patent infringement under the Hatch-Waxman Act involving a life-saving pharmaceutical product known as Dojolvi® (triheptanoin) against three generic manufacturers seeking to market generic versions of triheptanoin oral liquid. Dojolvi® is used to treat long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD), which are caused by genetic defects and for which there is no cure. People with LC-FAOD have difficulty producing enough energy because of their body's inability to use long-chain fatty acids as an energy source. Dojolvi® provides an alternate source of energy that dramatically improves these patients' lives.
