Wells Fargo analyst Mohit Bansal notes that PTAB has instituted Merck’s (MRK) patent grant review against Halozyme Therapeutics (HALO) MDASE patents. This patent is one of the patents Merck is fighting against Halozyme. The firm believes this likely reduces the probability of Halozyme prevailing in this case and weakens the bull argument. Wells has an Equal Weight on Halozyme with a price target of $65 on the shares.
