Abbott seeks appeal on royalties to UK's Cambridge

Abbott Laboratories is seeking to appeal a British court ruling that granted Cambridge Antibody Technology a greater percentage of royalties on Abbott's arthritis drug Humira.

In December, UK Judge Hugh Laddie said Abbott should pay Cambridge a royalty of just over 5 per cent on sales of Humira, compared with the royalty of 2 per cent of net sales it has been paying.

The application will be considered by one Court of Appeal judge, Cambridge said in a statement. If the application is unsuccessful, Abbott will be entitled to request a hearing.
