Extraordinary legal and regulatory changes are set to alter Hatch-Waxman and impact pharmaceutical patents this year. Prepare now to navigate and capitalize on this new and complex environment. American Conference Institute invites you to attend the 17th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes Conference. With attendees expected from the United States — and across the world, we hope that you will join us this April to meet and reconnect with peers, acquire firsthand insights from industry thought leaders. Attend and acquire invaluable “take aways” for legal strategies and cost-analysis for every facet of this complex litigation, from pre-suit considerations to case filings through final adjudication. Pharmaceutical patent law is constantly evolving, and the speed of that evolution has only hastened during the global pandemic. In the past twelve months we have witnessed debates over tribunal rule at the PTAB, new leadership at the helm of the helm of the FDA, FTC and USPTO, the Western District of Texas emerging as a major hub for patent litigation, and the use of the Safe Harbor exception during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will analyze the perceptions and approaches of both patent owners and patent challengers to these developments, highlighting these trends and more, as they inform Hatch-Waxman litigation.
Hear directly from Stephanie Donahue and Lars Taavola about what they are looking forward to at this year’s conference.
Now is the time to prepare for the implications of these critical events. This conference provides Hatch-Waxman stakeholders with practical information on developments that affect both substantive and procedural matters of import for brand named and generics. Join us in New York City this spring to discuss, debate, and analyze the latest trends, decisions, legislative and regulatory advancements affecting Hatch-Waxman litigation. We look forward to seeing you and your contemporaries for another successful conference!
