PARSIPPANY, N.J., Oct. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE: WPI) today announced that on September 28, 2012, the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Georgia granted summary judgment in favor of Watson, and all other defendants, on all remaining claims in the pending antitrust lawsuit related to settlements of patent litigation
concerning Androgel® 1% testosterone gel. The court found that the plaintiffs' claims were unsustainable because the underlying patent litigation was not objectively baseless and did
not constitute sham litigation. The court had previously granted Watson's motion to dismiss all claims asserted by the Federal Trade Commission concerning the same settlement. The
United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed that dismissal. ABOUT WATSON PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is an integrated global specialty
