    Acorda Can't Add $66M To Award In Ampyra Royalty Fight

    2nd Circ. Skeptical Of Bid To Boost Drug Royalty Award

    A Second Circuit panel appeared unsympathetic during oral arguments on Wednesday to Acorda Therapeutics Inc.'s assertion that it should be awarded nearly $66 million beyond the $16.5 million it won in a multiple sclerosis drug dispute, with one judge remarking that the company is "kind of in the soup" because it chose arbitration.
