Two Indian pharma companies have reached a mutual settlement with Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) in connection with a patent dispute over BMS' oral anticoagulant drug apixaban, even as the Delhi High Court has dismissed BMS' another request for an injunction against Zee Laboratories.

The apixaban patent expired on September 17, 2022. The drug is marketed by BMS under the trade name Eliquis, and, as the US pharma major’s second-best seller, generated global revenues of $11.8 billion in 2022.

In an amicable settlement, BMS, Indoco Remedies (BOM: 532612), and Metrochem API informed the Delhi High Court that their dispute has been resolved.
