>Are you basing your assessment of Natco's glatiramer acetate on Teva's statements about it in their rejected CP?<

At the time of the post you are replying to (mid 2010), Teva’s public comments on Natco’s product were all I had to go on, so the short answer to your question is yes.

Now that we also have the pleadings from the Copaxone patent case, I agree with you that some of Teva’s assertions about Natco are distorted. Natco’s product may be closer to Copaxone than Teva asserts, and hence MYL has a non-trivial probability of getting FDA approval.

>…this is one of several parallels that remind me of Momenta's enoxaparin experience.<

The parallel should not be taken too far, however; unlike the situation with Lovenox, MNTA can make a lot of money from Copaxone even if there are FDA-approved multiple generics on the market.
