Kaneka Intends to Appeal Invalidity Decision in Lawsuit Against CoCrystal
Kaneka Corporation sued CoCrystal in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, alleging infringement of its U.S. Patent No. 7,829,080 related to reduced coenzyme Q10 supplements.
On September 2, 2026, the New York District Court dismissed Kaneka's lawsuit, ruling the patent invalid for lack of enablement.
Kaneka disagrees with the court's decision, citing prior tests showing significant utility and earlier validation of the patent by another court.
Kaneka plans to appeal the dismissal to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals and remains committed to defending its intellectual property rights.
