While wading through the 23 (!!) U.S. patents issued to Sibia in the past year and a half, this one popped up:
patents.uspto.gov
Anyone care to comment on why Sibia has been assigned this patent? Not exactly "neurosciences".
BTW, 23 U.S. patents in a year and a half is unbelievable for a company this size -- more than any other biotech I follow. Very productive group (of both scientists AND attorneys).

Weird. Priority date looks like '91, however.

Finally, a second person has noticed.

{Pfizer ethics} Pfizer is becoming its own Viagra joke, having rocketed off for awhile and staying up longer than expected....
www2.nando.net
Pfizer is pleading guilty in a price-fixing scheme. They continued the illegal practice 15 years, and were only fined $20mm, or $1.3mm per year, to view it coldly. Our regulatory apparatus can be quite reasonable to rent!
From curiosity, I read the litigation sections from PFE's 10-Q and 10-K. More good news! Pfizer's attorneys are way too busy to spend much time with Sibia. If they follow a frequent PFE strategy of extending litigation for years, Sibia won't be hurt by it, being able to practice and license their invention in the meantime.

1508Y results negative. Studies insufficiently powered. Lilly gets a year to look at.......... "a trend to significance was noted and significant differences
between doses of altinicline were observed, suggesting a dose-response effect."

No, when Lilly took the option, it became their game. Just depends on how strong the trend toward significance was and what the dose response data actually says about the potential.
Program is now well-funded by Lilly, 1553A results coming this quarter. If the 1553 results are negative or "grey", then SIBI turns into a plain old bargain (VGCC/pain, caspase, patents and licenses, BMY/Novartis/Lilly), instead of a potential skyrocket with short fuse.
