Angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ABR) is an important product among various antihypertensive drugs. Developed by Sankyo and Forest Laboratories, olmesartan medoxomil was approved to the U.S.A. in April 2002 with the trade name "Benicar" and was approved to Europe in October 2002. In July 2006, it was launched in Chinese market. Olmesartan can take effect very soon with low dosage, and it has strong and lasting antihypertensive effect with few adverse reactions, especially dry cough. Also because of its excellent performance worldwide, many Chinese manufacturers applied to produce the generic drug. However, this behavior caused the noted "composition patent" olmesartan patent infringement case in 2006, resulting in the "Bolar Exception" in Chinese patent system. Although Beijing Winsunny Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. won the trial and was approved to produce the genetic drug in 2007, they violates Sankyo's patent every time they produce or sell the product. For Beijing Winsunny Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., it has won the trial but not the market.
