India's Supreme Court lets Natco sell cheap generic Risdiplam, citing public health over Roche's patent.
The Supreme Court of India has dismissed Roche’s appeal, allowing Indian generic drugmaker Natco Pharma to continue selling a lower-cost version of the spinal muscular atrophy drug Risdiplam.
The court upheld a Delhi High Court decision that denied Roche an interim injunction, citing public interest in affordable access to life-saving medication.
Roche had argued its patent rights should be protected, but the courts emphasized that patient affordability and access outweighed patent exclusivity in urgent health cases.
The case will now proceed to trial, with Natco set to launch its generic version at a significantly reduced price.
