$3.23 billion


Ihe Apotex legal team has seen a lot of action lately as the company is embroiled in two major lawsuits.

Apotex is contesting the patent on blood thinner Plavix, arguing it should be allowed to distribute a generic version.

The company managed to ship six months’ worth of the drug before a U.S. judge ordered it to cease shipments in August.

In the second lawsuit, Apotex is suing U.S. regulators to prevent rivals from gaining rights to nausea drug Zofran.

all are strengthened."
