injunction that required Sanofi and Regeneron to stop marketing, selling and manufacturing Praluent in the U.S. starting from February 21, 2017. However, on February 8, 2017, the
Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed (suspended) the permanent injunction for Praluent pending the companies appeal. As a result, Sanofi and Regeneron will continue
marketing, selling and manufacturing Praluent in the U.S. during the appeal process. The Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments on June 6, 2017.
