Genentech Shuts Down All Cabilly IPRs

Genentech's Cabilly Patent, U.S. Patent No. 6331415, covers production of antibodies by producing both the light and the heavy chain of an antibody in a single host cell.  The Cabilly patent is highly valuable to Genentech since it covers the main method by which antibodies are produced.

Genentech has shut down all IPRs against the Cabilly patent by settling with all petitioners whose IPR petitions were granted.  Genentech settled before the PTAB made a decision on the merits.
