As per the Delhi High Court, Cipla's drug - Erlocip did not violate the Roche patent on its anti-lung cancer medication Tarceva due to its different molecular make-up. Justice Manmohan Singh observed in his 280-page judgment that it had been scientifically proven that Cipla’s generic version was a polymorph B variant of Roche’s patented drug and that it didn’t actually infringe any patent in India.
