Repligen v. Centocor
Executive Summary
Repligen settles April 3 lawsuit in exchange for a share of any profits derived from the sale of a potential monoclonal antibody HIV treatment now under development by Centocor. Announced June 9, the settlement allows Centocor to continue work on its F105 antibody while acknowledging a 1987 non-compete agreement with Repligen covering HIV therapeutics, vaccines and diagnostics. That agreement gave Repligen all rights to an AIDS vaccine to which, under an earlier joint venture, Centocor had marketing rights.
