Company profile

Company overview. Lupin Inc. is a U.S.-incorporated affiliate of Lupin Limited, the Mumbai-headquartered global pharmaceutical group founded in 1968. In corporate-disclosure filings it lists Nanomi B.V., a Netherlands-based Lupin unit, as its direct parent, with Lupin Limited as ultimate parent. Lupin Limited is publicly traded in India (NSE/BSE: LUPIN; Reuters LUPIN.BO). Group scale, per PitchBook/Morningstar (2026), is roughly US$3.3 billion trailing-twelve-month revenue, a market cap of about US$10.6 billion, and roughly 28,000 employees. Lupin Inc.'s own headcount and revenue are not separately published.

Products / services / operations. Lupin Inc. functions as a U.S. holding/intermediate entity within the group's vertically integrated U.S. generic-drug business, alongside sister company Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the group's Delaware-chartered U.S. commercial arm, with U.S. headquarters in Naples, Florida, and manufacturing/R&D in Somerset, New Jersey). The Lupin group develops and markets generic and branded formulations, complex generics (including respiratory and nasal products), biosimilars, and active pharmaceutical ingredients across therapy areas such as cardiovascular, anti-diabetic, respiratory, CNS, and women's health, selling in over 100 markets.

Patent-litigation posture. Lupin Inc. is an operating-group entity defending against a brand-company suit, not an NPE: the case data show 0 plaintiff appearances and 1 defendant appearance. The sole tracked matter, Neurelis, Inc. v. Lupin Inc. (District of Delaware), is a Hatch-Waxman/ANDA suit under 35 U.S.C. § 271, a case type common in Delaware; the docket names Lupin Inc. with co-defendants Lupin Limited and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Notable context. Neurelis — maker of VALTOCO® (diazepam) nasal spray and affiliated with China Medical System Holdings — alleges that Lupin's ANDA No. 220394 for a generic diazepam nasal spray infringes patents including U.S. Patent No. 12,521,400, triggering a 30-month stay through late 2027. Related Lupin entities have answered and counterclaimed. Lupin Inc. has no plaintiff-side assertion activity in the tracked database.
