This year, the BPCIA turns 10! ACI’S 11th Annual Summit on Biosimilars & Innovator Biologics
is coming to you this September, VIRTUALLY!

Charles K. Sholtz, Director and Associate General Counsel, Biosimilars, Manufacturing & Litigation Readiness Lead, Genentech
CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION CREDITS
Nonetheless, the traditional barriers that affect the use of biosimilars, such as lack of familiarity and education remain. If this were not enough, with new threats to the Affordable Care Act, the BPCIA’s origin legislation — there is a question as to whether a pathway for biosimilars will still exist.
EARN CLE/ETHICS CREDITS
Accreditation will be sought in those jurisdictions requested by the registrants which have continuing education requirements. This course is identified as nontransitional for the purposes of CLE accreditation. ACI certifies this activity has been approved for CLE credit by the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board.
Now, more than ever, strategies to overcome these barriers and threats are essential to improve the understanding of these products in the United States. The need for a solid guiding framework becomes more critical than ever before.
ACI certifies this activity has been approved for CLE credit by the State Bar of California. ACI has a dedicated team which processes requests for state approval. Please note that event accreditation varies by state and ACI will make every effort to process your request.
2020 will see more litigations under the BPCIA — more than ever before. Further, and to an increasing extent, IPR proceedings challenging patents protecting biologic medicines, including IPRs filed before any action was under the BPCIA. Finally, 2020 will usher in considerable changes growing the scope of products that are regulated and litigated under the BPCIA.

Quote-left If I had to pick only one event to get the latest on issues impacting biosimilars, it would be the ACI Biosimilar Conference— highly informative presentations and ample opportunities to network and catch-up with players in this space. Quote-right
he Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCIA) was passed and signed into law in March of 2010 creating a pathway for biosimilars. The incorporation of these products into the U.S. market was designed to improve patient access and decrease healthcare costs. While the abbreviated licensure pathway has been slower to materialize in the U.S. as compared to the European marketplace, on its tenth birthday, the BPCIA will celebrate with 26 approved biosimilars.
Register today!
