CORRECTION: Compromise offer for India Glivec patent case

14 October 2007

In our article on the Novartis appeal against the refusal of the Indian authorities to issue a patent for Glivec/Gleevec (imatinib mesylate; Marketletter October 9), we made a mistake in stating that "an appeal hearing with a chairman and vice chairman would be acceptable" to Novartis. We should have made clear that the compromise proposal is still being considered by Novartis' legal representatives and the firm has not expressed an opinion either way.

We apologize for this error and are pleased to take this opportunity to set the record straight.
