Of course patent outcomes are hard to figure out. But as far as I know, Altace's patent was troubled by the fact that the challenger was able to show other similar ACEs with similar structures to Altace. And that AVS didn't learn anything unexpected with the discovery of the Altace structure. So that goes to the problem of the discovery not been a new idea.

Multiple settlements can be done. I never thought ceph would be able to do it with provigil, but they settled 4 of them and two different types of challenges, invalidity and non infringing.

When do the xopenex patents expire?

Lunesta has a pretty short patent life I believe, maybe just another few years left. 2011 or 2013 I think.
