The US International Trade Commission (ITC) upheld its preliminary ruling saying that South Korean drugmaker Daewoong Pharmaceutical Co. copied the manufacturing process of a botulinum toxin strain by local rival Medytox Inc. in Medytox Medytox
Consequently, the US trade panel ordered a 21-month ban on imports of Daewoong Pharmaceutical's botulinum products into the US.
ITC's ruling, however, reduces the initial 10-year ban prescribed by the preliminary panel that ruled that Daewoong's misappropriated trade secrets belonging to Medytox.
Medytox Inc. claimed that Daewoong's Jeuveau was developed using a trade secret stolen from it that turns the deadly botulinum toxin into a wrinkle treatment.
Daewoong denied any theft allegations or that any trade secret was involved and argued the US agency is not the proper forum to decide on the dispute.
