You have to wonder why

When Agila was acquired by Mylan the statement below was typical of that time.I certainly wonder why a company of Agila's capabilities would need/attempt to knock- off a daptomycin injectable patent if the said patent had no merit.
The comments in relation to the expected global generic injectables market {driven by patent expiries} was also of current interest.

"Agila, headquartered in Bangalore, India, will bring Mylan a broad product portfolio of more than 300 filings approved globally and marketed through a network covering 70 countries, including 61 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Agila has a global pipeline of approximately 350 filings pending approval, including 122 ANDAs pending FDA approval. Agila's research and development and regulatory track record are reflected in its industry-leading number of approvals and fast approval timeframes. The company currently produces products across nine high-quality manufacturing facilities in India, Brazil and Poland, eight of which have been approved by the FDA. Agila's manufacturing capabilities include vials, pre-filled syringes, ampoules, lyophilization, cytotoxics, and antibiotics. Agila's manufacturing base represents one of the largest steriles capacity in India and one of the largest lyophilization capacities in the world. In addition to its established presence in developed markets, Agila has a strong position in high-growth emerging markets, including Brazil.
Agila's capabilities complement Mylan's existing injectables platform of more than 500 products marketed globally, including 55 ANDAs, and its high quality sterile manufacturing facilities in Ireland and India.
The global generic injectables market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13%[1] from 2011-2017 driven by patent expiries, outpacing most other dosage forms. The combined Mylan/Agila portfolio will represent approximately 70% of regulated market demand for injectables and the combined R&D platform and manufacturing capabilities will position Mylan to be a significant participant in advanced new technologies to drive future growth".
