Warner-Lambert Co. v. John Hopkin University

Warner-Lambert Co. v. Johns Hopkins University was a legal case where Warner-Lambert, a pharmaceutical company, sued Johns Hopkins University over rights to certain drug-related inventions. Warner-Lambert claimed it had rights to commercialize a drug based on research conducted at the university. The case centered on who owned the rights—the company or the university—and whether licensing agreements were properly followed. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Warner-Lambert, affirming their rights to develop and commercialize the drug, clarifying legal principles about intellectual property rights stemming from university research collaborations.
