Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. demonstrates an active patent-litigation posture, focused on asserting and defending its intellectual property. The company is recorded as a plaintiff in one tracked case at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and has no defendant cases in the provided data. This PTAB case, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Inc. v. Biofrontera Bioscience GmbH, is an Inter Partes Review (IPR) initiated by Biofrontera to challenge Sun Pharma's patent.

This specific PTAB action stems from Sun Pharma's earlier patent infringement allegations against Biofrontera, filed in June 2024 in a U.S. District Court and the International Trade Commission, concerning U.S. Patent No. 11,697,028 and a related patent. On February 23, 2026, the PTAB issued a Final Written Decision in the tracked case, finding all challenged claims of Sun Pharma's U.S. Patent No. 11,697,028 to be unpatentable, though Sun Pharma retains the right to appeal this decision.
