2022 is signaling a renewed focus on innovator biologics and biosimilars, with new regulations and restrictions placed on anticompetitive practices.
ACI’s Biosimilars and Innovator Biologics Advisory Board Ali I. Ahmed Senior Vice President, Biosimilars Fresenius Kabi USA
The innovator biologics and biosimilars industries have reached an inflection point in the United States. With another major wave of loss of BLA exclusivities in the next five to ten years, it is imperative that industry is well prepared today. Now, more than ever, strategies to overcome these barriers are essential to improve the understanding of biosimilar products in the United States. The need for a solid guiding framework becomes more critical than ever before. Even with a calendar year that included 4 FDA approvals, 3 launches in the United Sates, 2 approvals for interchangeable biosimilars, and myriad regulatory and legal developments, the traditional barriers continue to be complicated, interconnected, and best addressed by stakeholder collaboration. In this context, we cordially invite you to explore the contours of the rapidly changing landscape for biosimilars and innovator biologics. This June, join the “who’s who” of the biosimilars and innovator biologics industries as they gather in Boston for ACI’s 13th Summit on Biosimilars & Innovator Biologics. BOOK NOW

Subsequent to the Federal Circuit’s skinny label ruling in GSK v. Teva, the District of Delaware in Amarin v. Hikma (D. Del. 2022) embraced a narrower approach in dismissing an induced infringement claim based on an allegedly inadequate skinny label carve out. The Delaware court also examined the novel question of whether a health insurer’s formulary placement of the drug in question induced infringement of method-of-use patents. Further, confirming that without any bright line rules, and absent a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court or legislation, the fate of the skinny label remains in the balance. • Considering whether the language of press releases, web pages and other marketing materials require more scrutiny • Analyzing potential liability faced by insurers for placement of skinny label on formularies » Does liability exist for induced infringement by listing a skinny label on a formulary » Taking stock of the potential impact to patients • Understanding when information can put you at risk for infringement claims regardless of labeling revisions have been approved by FDA as part of a skinny label 12:45

DAY TWO • WEDNESDAY JUNE 29, 2022 IPRs offer biosimilar and generic drug manufactures the benefit of challenging innovator patents with comparative haste and efficiency. While IPRs continue to provide an alternative forum for biosimilar manufactures who seek a faster alternative to BPCIA litigation, successful IPRs of biologics patents remains a challenge. During this interactive session, points of discussion will include: • Reducing risk by challenging patents in advance of launching biosimilars at risk • Understanding the advantages for applicants to resolve prior art invalidity disputes via IPRs • Establishing standing to appeal in an IPR in connection with BPCIA and the FDA approval process for biosimilars • Anticipating an answer to the unresolved question as to how much investment is required in the biosimilar context under Article III to establish standing • Appreciating the timing for applicants to file petitions for IPRs relative to filing BLAs and BPCIA litigation » Assessing concerns surrounding multiple filer petitions and relevant timing considerations • Analyzing biosimilars IPR filings and recent PTAB decisions 3:00
Afternoon Break
Examining the Role of the ITC in Biotech Litigation: 337 Investigations, IP Infringement, and Trade Secrets microphone-alt Amanda Hollis, Partner, Kirkland & Ellis LLP Elizabeth Weiswasser, Partner, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP While infringement actions at the ITC under 337 investigations have increased for many industries over the years, the ITC remains a relatively uncommon forum for the bio-pharmaceutical industries. However, this trend many soon change for the biotech industry. In March of 2021, AbbVie filed a trade secret complaint against Alvotech, followed by similar allegations asserted in an additional ITC action in December of 2021. The complaint alleges misappropriation of trade secrets and tortious interference with contractual relations. In this session, our panelists will consider: • Reviewing recent ITC cases with trade secret allegations • Anticipating when reference product sponsors may seek to bring these claims • Protecting against misappropriation claims » Developing robust policies against the use of another party’s confidential information • Ensuring compliance with strong internal policies INTERACTIVE ETHICS DRILLS

Balancing Innovation and Competition: Patent Thickets, Continued Litigation, and New Economic Considerations microphone-alt Sarah Abraham, Manager, Cornerstone Research Orion Armon, Partner, Cooley LLP Evan Diamond, Partner, King & Spalding LLP Antitrust enforcement is routinely triggered via the approval of a biosimilar. Many believe that anti-competitive behavior exhibited by reference products represents the most formidable barrier to entry. In response, FDA and FTC recently issued a joint statement regarding a collaboration to advance competition in the biologic marketplace. This session will consider the economic implications of patent payment litigation, the competitive effects, and economic damages. Topics of discussion will include: • Assessing whether developing a patent thicket is an antitrust violation » UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund v. AbbVie Inc. (7th Cir. Dec. 28, 2020) Reviewing what is deemed “anti-competitive activities” • Do you need to prove that all the patents in the ‘thicket’ around a drug are invalid? • Reviewing the proper standards of antitrust review and the rising call for a legislative response » Analyzing the current legislative and regulatory framework » Mergers, acquisitions and exclusive licenses » Anticompetitive agreements » Abuse of dominance » Life cycle management and contracting » Pricing strategies • Avoiding costly litigation and associated penalties by effectively complying with the law

COMMERCIAL STRATEGIES FOR THE INNOVATOR AND BIOSIMILARS MARKETPLACE
GLOBAL STRATEGIES: From Patent Protection to Cost and Market Access microphone-alt Otto Licks, Partner, Licks Attorneys Huiya Wu, Partner, Goodwin Procter LLP Biosimilars and innovator biologic markets and regulation have steadily evolved in Europe and the United States, with the European marketplace experiencing the most commercial success. However, the cost of these products – whether innovator or biosimilar – continues to be of global concern, especially as new products will soon emerge from the pipeline. Not far behind, and thanks to a favorable regulatory environment, the Chinese biosimilar marketplace is booming. Although the regulatory approaches are similar in general scientific content, certain key differences have amplified acceptance and market growth in China relative to the United States and Europe. This session will contemplate what is next for biosimilars in established markets like Europe, and emerging markets like China. • Assessing regulatory and legislative developments impacting the biopharmaceutical industries in each region • Understanding the economics and market influences » Considerations for market access, sustainable pricing and reimbursement policies » Market uptake of biosimilar products » Biosimilar v. biosimilar litigation in a crowded market 12:30
