>>Supreme Court reverses MedImmune dismissal
High court disagrees with federal appeals court that threw out a suit challenging Genentech's patent on producing cancer drugs.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday reversed a federal court decision that threw out a MedImmune Inc. lawsuit challenging the validity of a key Genentech Inc. patent.

In a decision closely watched by U.S. patent experts, the high court disagreed with a federal appeals court that dismissed a suit aimed at overturning a patent covering a method of producing antibody drugs, including Genentech's cancer treatments Avastin and Rituxan.<<

Cabilly patent back in play, I guess. I presume the case is being remanded.
