2. **Validity of Patents**: Mylan challenges the validity of Eurand's patents, arguing that they are either overly broad or not sufficiently novel to merit protection.
3. **Damages**: If infringement is established, the court must also determine what damages Eurand is entitled to as a result of Mylan's alleged infringement.
**Court's Findings**:
- The court will evaluate the patent's claims, their interpretations, and Mylan's products to determine if infringement has occurred.
- The parties may present expert testimony regarding the technical aspects of the formulation and the claims of the patents.
- The court will assess whether Mylan's defense on the grounds of validity holds up against Eurand's claims.
**Conclusion**:
The outcome of Eurand v. Mylan will have implications for both companies, potentially affecting product lines, financial liabilities, and future patent enforcement strategies in the pharmaceutical industry. The parties are expected to present their cases, and a ruling will be made that could set precedents for similar cases in pharmaceutical patent law.
