News report from Mint, here.
A little sleuthing shows* the following:
The Orange Book shows that Iressa has 3 listed patents.

The rejection of this product patent is not the end. My research suggests that there are at least two more process patent applications:
Gifitinib/ Gefitinib.
I will be obliged if any of you readers can send me details/ copy of the decision or any additional information.
