Centralized Marketing Authorizations of Generic Versions of
TECFIDERA® are Revoked by the European Commission
Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) today announced that the European
Commission has revoked the centralized marketing authorizations for
generic versions of Biogen’s product TECFIDERA® (dimethyl
fumarate) held by Accord, Mylan, Neuraxpharm, Polpharma and Teva.
In reaching this decision, the European Commission affirmed that
Biogen is entitled to full data protection and marketing
protection for TECFIDERA. Biogen welcomes the actions of the
European Commission, which confirm the laws governing data
exclusivity and marketing protection. Those laws are essential to
protecting innovation.
TECFIDERA is entitled to marketing protection until February 3,
2025, and is the only dimethyl fumarate treatment for multiple
sclerosis that may be lawfully placed on the market for sale in the
EU until that date. Biogen has initiated legal action to defend its
market protection rights. Biogen has sufficient supply of
TECFIDERA to supply the entire European market.

Biogen Safe HarborThis news release contains
forward-looking statements about the Biogen’s supply of Tecfidera;
the anticipated benefits and potential of Biogen's collaboration
arrangements with Eisai; the potential of Biogen's commercial
business and pipeline programs; and risks and uncertainties
associated with drug development and commercialization, including
data exclusivity and marketing protection. These statements may be
identified by words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe,"
"could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "may," "plan,"
"possible," "potential," "will," "would" and other words and terms
of similar meaning. Drug development and commercialization involve
a high degree of risk, and only a small number of research and
development programs result in commercialization of a product.
Results in early-stage clinical studies may not be indicative of
full results or results from later stage or larger scale clinical
studies and do not ensure regulatory approval. You should not place
undue reliance on these statements.
These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in
such statements, including without limitation unexpected concerns
that may arise from additional data, analysis or results obtained
during clinical studies; the occurrence of adverse safety events;
risks of unexpected costs or delays; the risk of other unexpected
hurdles; regulatory submissions may take longer or be more
difficult to complete than expected; regulatory authorities may
require additional information or further studies, or may fail or
refuse to approve or may delay approval of Biogen's drug
candidates; actual timing and content of submissions to and
decisions made by the regulatory authorities; failure to protect
and enforce Biogen's data, intellectual property and other
proprietary rights and uncertainties relating to intellectual
property claims and challenges; product liability claims; third
party collaboration risks; and the direct and indirect impacts of
the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on Biogen's business, results of
operations and financial condition. The foregoing sets forth many,
but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results to
differ from Biogen's expectations in any forward-looking statement.
Investors should consider this cautionary statement as well as the
risk factors identified in Biogen's most recent annual or quarterly
report and in other reports Biogen has filed with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak only as
of the date of this news release. Biogen does not undertake any
obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.
