    Jefferies analyst Biren Amin weighed in on The Medicines Company (NASDAQ:MDCO) after a Delaware district court ruled in favor of Hospira on the Angiomax patent case. Amin commented, “U.S. District Court of Delaware Judge Richard Andrews issued his ruling on the Angiomax ‘727 and ‘343 patents. Judge Andrews found HSP did not infringe both of these patents despite ruling that HSP failed to invalidate both patents on prior art/obviousness grounds. MDCO will likely appeal the ruling – which could take another 6-9 months, and even potentially settle. Under a worst-case scenario, HSP may launch in mid-’15 implying a potential $19 fair value.
