Eli Lilly sued Sandoz and requested the Court to issue a preliminary injunction against Sandioz for alleged infringement of a patent concerning dosage forms of pharmaceuticals used in the treatment of sexual dysfunction. Sandoz filed a revocation action against the patent and contested the alleged infringement on the ground that the patent should be revoked as the alleged invention lacked novelty and inventive step.
