Novo Nordisk wins Dutch court injunction in semaglutide patent infringement case

STOCKHOLM, Aug 5 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk said on Wednesday it had won a preliminary injunction against Ceban Ziekenhuisfarmacie from a district court in the Netherlands in a patent infringement case involving a compounded semaglutide nasal spray. 

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's weight-loss drug Wegovy. 

"The Court found that Ceban infringed Novo Nordisk's supplementary protection certificate (SPC) covering semaglutide," the Danish drugmaker said in a statement. 

It said the court ordered Dutch firm Ceban to cease the infringing activities, remove product listings, disclose supply chain information, and reimburse Novo Nordisk's legal costs.
