Depomed, Biovail Enter Term Sheet Discussions


Posted on 2005-11-28 15:10:00



Pharmaceutical company Depomed Inc. said Wednesday its lawsuit against Biovail Corp. has come to a short-term standstill after the companies entered into a nonbinding term sheet.

Depomed did not comment on the specifics of its discussions with the Canadian drug maker.

The company sued Biovail in a California Superior Court on Nov. 16, seeking damages and a termination of their 2002 license agreement for diabetes treatment Glumetza. Depomed claims Biovail breached its contract by not launching a version of Glumetza within 120 days of U.S. and Canadian approval.
