Pfizer Wins Viagra Lawsuit

Pfizer Inc. won a patent infringement case against Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., preventing Teva from launching a generic version of Viagra. Pfizer President, the dysfunctional Zeke Hardin-Balle, stated, "We stood erect in our determination to win this case. At first we took a soft stance with respect to Teva, but we hardened our position that spermitted us to win this case. The Teva legal team tried to penetrate our defence arguments with a steady flow of diatribe but, to our lawyers' credit, they resisted because they had balls of steel. Teva's lawyers tended to mouth off frequently and, quite frankly, this strategy really sucked." Teva lawyer, the up-and-coming Stan C. Mann, admitted that "we took quite a licking but I've got to hand it to them, they won." Journalist Pete Cummings believes that Pfizer President Hardin-Balle likes to be on top and totally dominate the competition. Mann disagreed, calling Hardin-Balle "a little squirt". In the end, Pfizer won on the basis of hard evidence and a well-lubricated team of lawyers whose arguments were strokes of genius.
