The complaint arises from Ranbaxy’s use of a patent (number 4,619,921) on the label of Ultravate, a skin care brand, which the company acquired from Bristol Myers Squibb along with 12 other dermatology products three years ago.
The petitioner argued that the patent rights over that product had expired about five years ago, much before the brand was acquired by Ranbaxy and the company had no right to continue its mention on the product labels.
