Barr, Kos in talks over cholesterol drug patent

KOSP up about $6

Wed Mar 30, 2005 08:42 AM ET

CHICAGO, March 30 (Reuters) - Drugmakers Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (BRL.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (KOSP.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Wednesday said they are negotiating to settle a dispute over a patent on Kos' cholesterol drug Niaspan.

The two drugmakers have been battling over Barr's bid to sell a generic or copycat form of Niaspan, which had sales of more than $300 million in 2004.

The companies now expect the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to discontinue and stay all proceedings to let them negotiate a deal, with the option of each party reactivating the matter if no deal is reached.
