ReutersU.S. Supreme Court rules against Amgen bid to revive cholesterol drug patents
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday ruled against Amgen Inc in its bid to revive patents on its cholesterol-lowering drug Repatha in a legal clash with French rival Sanofi SA.

Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote for the court that "we agree with the lower courts that Amgen has failed to enable all that it has claimed, even allowing for a reasonable degree of experimentation."
