The federal court in Wilmington, Delaware is reported to have stressed on the fact that Glenmark's proposed gel would be absorbed into the skin in a similar way to Finacea, violating Bayer's patent.

Germany's Bayer had sued Glenmark in 2013 after Glenmark filed an application to market a copycat version of the $95 million drug in the United States
