Teva is challenging AstraZeneca's patent claims to Seroquel in the U.S. The company, and several others, hope to sell a generic version before the U.S. patent expires on AstraZeneca's second-biggest selling drug, with $4 billion in sales in 2007.

Teva said the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey granted summary judgment in AstraZeneca's favor. The company did not provide details on its plan to appeal the decision.
