It's called Grasping at Straws Syndrome marked by three cardinal signs: an old drug, lurking patent expiration, a desperate attempt to find a new "benefit". In this case, it looks like they are trying to position it as the agonist that doesn't keep you awake all night. Here is the major find:

Preclinical data showed rotigotine increased depth of sleep in rats.


This stuff would be comical if it weren't so pathetic that they have got nothing else going on than to waste money on this.
