| 2025-09-04 | UPC_APP_34350/2025 | Milan CD | Generic application | Prozessual | Nur prozessual | Milan Central Division judge-rapporteur issued a procedural order in the revocation action by Gilead Sciences against Academy of Military Medical Sciences (patent EP 3 854 403, Remdesivir for MERS/SARS-CoV-1).
