Summary
Liquidia sank about 25% before trading was halted after a U.S. District Court in Delaware found the company infringed a United Therapeutics patent.
The court also denied Liquidia's motion to strike United Therapeutics' challenge to the prior-art status of another patent, deepening the legal setback.
United Therapeutics shares jumped 15% on the ruling, signaling investors expect the decision to strengthen its position in the patent dispute.
