There are two types of Patents- Process and Product Patents. As I understand, the product patents expired in August/Sept22.
Natco’s patents were process patents for CTPR, which was challenged. However, the product patent expired, process patent has not, hence the challenge. Looks like Natco is the biggest challenger, so FMC is challenged. It has been going on for some time. I do not know what they lost last year.
(Natco booked inventory losses of 200 cr+).
Sorry, not an expert in this area, but it looks like Natco has prevailed this time. Assuming 2000cr of CTPR sales last year, they shall generate 120-150 cr in the next 3/4 quarter based on management commentary in the earlier call.
