Eli Lilly and Co. lost a United Kingdom lawsuit over its Alimta lung cancer treatment but plans to appeal, according to Bloomberg News. A judge ruled May 15 that a generic version of Alimta, planned by Actavis Plc, doesn’t breach European patents.

In March, a U.S. District Court upheld a patent regarding vitamin dosage in a dispute with Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. Some European patents for Alimta expire in December 2015, and Actavis is seeking regulatory approval for a rival treatment, according to a written decision by Judge Arnold handed down in London. Lilly said in its statement that it had won an Alimta patent case in Germany earlier this year. The company said it expected European patents related to vitamin dosage to remain in force until 2021.
