Press Release: FIERCE Pharma -- AbbVie subsidiary Allergan on Friday sued Revance, alleging the company's proposed frown-line injection Daxibotulinumtoxin A infringes several Botox patents. An FDA decision on Revance's rival drug is "imminent," AbbVie says in the suit, so the pharma giant is seeking a judgment from the court that its patents will be infringed, plus damages that could include a "reasonable royalty and lost profits."
