AmLaw Litigation Daily recognized a Covington team as “Litigators of the Week” for representing AbbVie in patent litigation against five generic drug manufacturers ending in remarkable settlements that protect the company’s blockbuster immunology drug RINVOQ until 2037. RINVOQ generated nearly $6 billion in sales last year, and news of the deal sent AbbVie share prices to a new high.

The Covington team was led by Patent Litigation group co-chairs Erica Andersen and Christopher Sipes, alongside partners Brianne Sullivan and Nicholas Evoy. The team also included Of Counsel Eric Sonnenschein, Special Counsel Alex Trzeciak, and Associates Melissa Keech, Mike Morey, Cody Reeves, Laura Martin, Allyson Corigliano, and Robert McMullen.
