2 Drugmakers Ordered to Pay 21 B. Yen for Toray Patent Breach
News from Japan May 28, 2025 09:54 (JST) Tokyo, May 28 (Jiji Press)--Japan's Intellectual Property High Court has ordered two drugmakers to pay a total of 21.7 billion yen in compensation for a patent infringement involving Toray Industries Inc.'s anti-itch medication. According to Toray and others, the court Tuesday ordered Sawai Pharmaceutical Co. and Fuso Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. to pay 14.29 billion yen and 7.47 billion yen, respectively. "We're delighted that our claims have been approved" by the court, Toray said, hailing the latest decision as "a key ruling in a pharmaceutical patent lawsuit." The parent company of Sawai said that the ruling was "unacceptable," while Fuso said that it "will thoroughly examine the contents of this ruling and appeal to the Supreme Court." Toray applied to the Patent Office for an extension of its patent to use active ingredient nalfurafine as an itch-alleviating treatment in 2017, when the patent was to expire. Sawai and Fuso in 2018 started manufacturing and selling their own generic drugs by mixing additives with nalfurafine. [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.] Jiji Press

KDEBWM targets 80% Euro-5 lorry use by year-end
KLANG: KDEB Waste Management (KDEBWM) is targeting 80 per cent use of environmentally friendly Euro 5-spec roll-on-roll-off (RORO) trucks for cleaning operations in Selangor by the end of this year. KDEBWM managing director Datuk Ramli Mohd Tahir said the company was set to receive 47 vehicles next month, with operations to begin immediately in areas under the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) and several other local authorities (PBT). 'So far, we have received six Euro 5 RORO lorries, and the remaining units are expected to arrive next month. 'Generally, asset assessments are carried out every five to six years, and based on current developments, KDEBWM has decided that this model is the most suitable,' he told reporters after the handover ceremony of the first batch of Fuso trucks here today. Ramli said the use of the model helped minimise nitrogen oxide (NOx) and carbon emissions, provided efficient fuel consumption without compromising engine performance, and added value to cleaning operations in Selangor. He said KDEBWM was operating with 1,400 units of machinery, including RORO and compactor lorries, and that the company remained committed to promoting greener operations in line with the government's goal of making Malaysia a carbon-neutral country by 2050. 'We hope that with the conversion to this new model chassis, we can reduce at least 30 to 40 per cent of the carbon dioxide emitted by the old chassis,' he said. Previously, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad was reported as saying that Malaysia would begin implementing the use of Euro 5 petrol in September 2025, with full compliance expected by 2027, as a long-term measure to preserve the country's air quality.
