I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

Enveric Biosciences is challenging AbbVie over its psychedelic candidate bretisilocin, claiming it infringes on their patent (US Patent No. 12,138,276). AbbVie is in the process of acquiring bretisilocin from Gilgamesh for up to $1.2 billion. Enveric's CEO stated they will vigorously defend their IP, and shares rose 20% as investors reacted. The outcome of the patent dispute will impact potential royalties and timelines for the Gilgamesh deal, affecting the development of a new depression therapy.
