The Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice (vol. 7, issue 7) has published an article by partner Darren Smyth about a case in the UK Patents Court about AstraZeneca’s patent for its drug quetiapine, marketed as Seroquel.

AstraZeneca's European patent EP 0907364 relating to a sustained release formulation of the antipsychotic drug quetiapine was held invalid in the UK, this being the opposite outcome to parallel litigation before the District Court of the Hague.
