Richter and Janssen also signed a transitional business license agreement and a series of other related agreements to run the business without interruption during the period required to transfer the marketing authorizations to Richter.
"Adding a patch to our existing contraceptive delivery methods such as oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptives and intrauterine device enables us to proudly offer the widest selection of family planning solutions to women," Richter chairman Erik Bogsch said.
Oral contraceptives are Richterʼs top-selling products.
