Executive Summary
P&G v. McNEIL, UPJOHN: JUDGE ROBINSON "IMPROPERLY WEIGHED THE EVIDENCE" in coming to her decision that Rich-Vicks' patent for the combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine is not valid and enforceable, the Procter & Gamble subsidiary asserted during a Dec. 4 oral argument before a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. Rich-Vicks is appealing federal Judge Sue Robinson's post-trial judgment for the defendants in the patent infringement suit, and McNeil and Pharmacia & Upjohn are cross-appealing ("The Tan Sheet" April 29, p. 5).
