What kind of pullback normally happens after something like this with a pharma company?  Or is it expected to stabilize around this range?

Citron Research

     Citron has a whole report on VVUS.  This explains the reason for the drop.  My guess is that it might not stop until 20.  Although how low it could go is anybody's guess. 

 

 

Vivus's Intellectual Property Story:  Serious Doubts about its IP Protection

 

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality."

- Ayn Rand (1905-1982)

While the company has been busy furthering their FDA submission and selling stock, Vivus has simply avoided confronting the reality that they might not even be able to go to market. 

The foundation stone of Vivus' IP protection is a patent licensing deal signed a decade ago with a Dr. Najarian, an obesity doctor and researcher who filed as sole inventor for Qsymia's two-drug combo.  One question that has been hanging over the company for years is the possibility of patent infringement on one of Qsymia's two active ingredients, topiramate, a patent held by Johnson & Johnson, who used to sell the drug as an obesity treatment before it went generic.  It affords patent protection until 2017.  It originally was filed by a researcher named Shank on June 29, 1996 (US PTO No. 6,071,537)

You do not have to be a patent attorney to read the title of the abstract:

"Anticonvulsant Derivatives Useful in Treating Obesity"

According to Earnings.com VVUS is expected to report earnings 7/30 to 8/5.  They don't expect to release the drug until the 4 th quarter.  They may address the questions posed by Citron and clear up some of the problems.
