Vicoprofen tablets were initially formulated and packaged by Knoll, with ibuprofen supplied by Albemarle Corporation and hydrocodone supplied by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals.The validity of Knolls patent on Vicoprofen has been challenged in federal court. In September 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Norther District of Illinois granted a motion of invalidity filed by Teva Pharmaceuticals against Knolls patent on Vicoprofen, ruling the patent was invalid as obvious. This ruling paved the way for Tevas abbreviated new drug application to be approved by the FDA which would allow them to manufacture and market their own generic. Knoll appealed the decision. In April 2003, Teva announced that its abbreviated new drug application had been approved by the FDA, and its generic would begin shipping immediately. In May 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit vacated the previous judgment by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and the case was remanded back for further court proceedings. Teva continued to sell its generic during this time. The patent for Vicoprofen expired on 18 December 2004, officially opening the drug to generic manufacture. In July 2016, the FDA approved another generic equivalent, manufactured by Aurobindo Pharma Limited. Ownership and promotion
