Glenmark Pharmaceuticals in a statement said it has lost its appeal to invalidate Abbott Laboratories' TARKA (trandolapril/verapamil hydrochloride) patent when the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, USA affirmed the district court's decision regarding Glenmark's marketing of a generic equivalent of TARKA.

Glenmark is disappointed with the decision and is considering its options, it added.
