From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Hoffmann-La Roche, Inc. ("Roche") appeals from the decision of the United States District Court for the Dis­ trict of New Jersey, denying Roche's motion for a prelimi­ nary injunction. See Hoffmann-La Roche Inc. u. Apotex Inc., No. 2:07-CV-04417, 2012 WL 869572 (D.N.J. Mar. 14, 2012) ("Preliminary Injunction Order"). Because the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Roche's request for a preliminary injunction, we affirm. BACKGROUND I. This patent appeal relates to methods of treating os­ teoporosis in post-menopausal women.
