According to a company statement here, Cadila Healthcare and Zydus Pharmaceuticals will now have the right to begin selling a generic version of Silenor 180 days after another party begins selling its generic version in the US. This will be under a license from Somaxon, 180 days after a United States court enters a final decision that Somaxon's patents are not infringed, invalid or unenforceable, or earlier under certain circumstances, the release said.
