California-based Santarus Inc along with the University of Missouri, licensor of the Santarus patents, has filed a court case against Dr Reddy's Laboratories, accusing the latter for infringing its patents on heartburn drug Zegerid. The move is in response to the company’s abbreviated new drug application (ANDA)with US Food and Drug Administration, stating its intent to market generic versions of Zegerid before July 2016, when Santarus' patents on the drug expires. Zegerid capsules, which treat heartburn and other symptoms, related to gastroesophageal reflux disease, brought in sales of $10.3 million in the April-June period.

Zegerid has filed for patent infringement case as it has challenged the ruling of US district court and is currently awaiting a decision on the case. In 2010, a Delaware federal court ruled that the patents were invalid because of obviousness in light of prior art. California-based Santarus has reportedly challenged the district court's decision, arguing that the prior art used to invalidate the patents actually taught away from the claimed invention.
