The resolution of patent disputes for Alvogen's Eylea biosimilar is expected to positively impact Alvogen's stock price due to expanded market access and potential revenue growth. Conversely, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and Bayer may experience negative market sentiment as their Eylea product will face increased competition.

This agreement grants Alvogen global rights to manufacture and supply its aflibercept biosimilar, building on a previous agreement for the U.S. market.
