unprecedented patent losses on small molecule pharmaceutical products having values in excess of $130 billion annually will occur by 2016.* A pathway for biosimilars has been created, but accompanying regulations have yet to be promulgated. now is the time for brand name and generic pharmaceutical companies to rethink the rules of the patent endgame. get the information that you need to navigate the hatch-Waxman patent cliff and the patent challenges precipitated by BPCIA. Attend the one event which has remained the industry constant for shaping policies and strategies for both brand names and generics.

American conference Institutes (AcIs) maximizing pharmaceutical patent life cycles conference is the pharmaceutical industrys leading source for information and analysis on patent life cycle management for both small and now, large molecule pharmaceutical products. It is the forum where lawyers, executives and policy makers for brand name and generic manufacturers gather each year to prepare for the life cycle challenges they currently face as well as those which they anticipate.

In-depth discussions on key regulatory developments impacting life cycle management including - REMS studies - Use codes, skinny labeling, and carve outs, and their relationship to divided infringement and inducement theories - Regulatory bars to exclusivity Analyses of recent critical cases affecting patent life cycle planning including: Sun Pharma (double patenting); Microsoft (standard of invalidity); Ariad (patentability); Therasense (inequitable conduct) and strategies for using these cases to your advantage

new Ip and industry dynamics coupled with evolving law and regulation have created new patent life cycle challenges for brand names and generics.
The pharmaceutical industry now stands on the edge of the patent cliff. By 2016, patents on myriad block buster pharmaceutical products for treating ailments and conditions ranging from asthma to high cholesterol to psychosis and beyond will go off patent. This patent decline does not only pose problems for brand name drug manufacturers, but also proves troubling for generics; the ultimate Hatch-Waxman prize of 180-day exclusivity may be short-lived in the future as there will be few patented drug products worth coveting. Moreover, as the industry awaits FDA guidance on biosimilars, it remains anyones guess as to what effect, if any these new medicinal entities and therapies will have on the patent endgame.

Benefit from in-depth and practical training and strategy sessions that will address the essentials and emerging focus of pharmaceutical patent life cycle management.
In response to your requests, we have added the following pre-conference training and strategy sessions: ptA- pte Boot camp: Basic training in the essentials of patent term Adjustment and patent term restoration for patent lawyers serving the Biopharmaceutical Industry will offer critical instruction on the fundamentals and mechanics of PTA and PTE practice which help to ensure patent and profit longevity; and Working group on global pharmaceutical patent life cycle management strategies for established and emerging markets: A practical, hands-on guide to patent extensions and exclusivities Available to pharmaceutical products Around the World will offer in-depth and pragmatic advice for navigating patent systems in Europe and emerging BRIC markets nearly 3,000 pharmaceutical patent professionals for both brand names and generics have made this conference their source of information for the legal issues surrounding life cycle management for nearly the last twelve years. This updated event will bring you the latest legal strategies and tactics for successful maneuvering in the evolving patent endgame. With all thats at stake, you cannot afford to miss this conference.

ptA- pte Boot camp: Basic training in the essentials of patent term Adjustment and patent term restoration for patent lawyers serving the Biopharmaceutical Industry
Scott Beeser, Ph.D. LLB Patent Attorney Biopharmaceuticals Apotex Inc. (Toronto, ON) Justin J. Oliver Partner Fitzpatrick, Cella, Harper & Scinto (Washington, DC) Richard S. Parr Assistant Counsel Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ)
Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) and Patent Term Extensions (PTE) are essential to patent life cycle longevity especially in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Biopharmaceutical companies invest numerous resources into preserving the patent life and the subsequent profits of products which take years to produce. Each day of patent life equals millions of dollars in profits. A loss of even one day can have substantial impact on a companys profit margin. Recent court decisions and the introduction of an abbreviated pathway for follow-on biological products have made knowing the ins and outs of PTE and PTA a critical competency for every patent practitioner servicing the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. This intensive half-day workshop will help you master the skills you need to face your greatest PTA and PTE challenges head on. A faculty of PTA and PTE experts will offer practical solutions and in-depth instruction for everything from eligibility requirements to calculations to the application and reconsideration processes. They will also discuss to the interplay of these mechanisms. Points of discussion will include: Overview of Patent Term Adjustment (PTA)and Patent Term Extension (PTE) - statutory authorities Patent Act Hatch-Waxman Act Understanding the unique role of PTA and PTA in the longevity of patent life cycles in the life sciences industries PTA vs. PTE - seeking redress for PTO delays - seeking redress for FDA delays Which point of patent life does each of these devices extend? - full scope of patent vs. full scope of patent life of patent product

uspto Keynote: the Impending reality of patent reform and Its potential Impact on pharmaceutical patents
Teresa Stanek Rea (Invited) Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director United States Patent and Trademark Office (Alexandria, VA)
On March 8, 2011, the Senate by a 95-5 vote passed S. 23, i.e., The America Invents Act or Patent Reform Act of 2011. A little more than a month later, the House Judiciary Committee voted to approve its own version of the Patent Reform Act, i.e., H.R. 1249. It is anticipated that this bill will go to a full House vote sometime in mid-June. If passed, proceedings would begin to reconcile both the Senate and House versions of this legislation. In light of these developments, Patent Reform is now an impending reality of which the biopharmaceutical industry must become well acquainted. Teresa Stanek Rea will address the provisions of the proposed Patent Reform legislation and its implications for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Points of discussion will include: First to file vs. first to invent Proposed changes in PTO practice False marking The future of reexamination practice Post Grant Review proceedings The Goodlatte Supplemental Proceeding Amendments

It has been more than a year since the enactment of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) which established a pathway for biologics to be approved as biosimilars under section 351k of the Public Health Service Act. Although the FDA still has not issued regulations which would allow the industry to make critical determinations in pursuing the development of these products, the statutory structure suggests several life cycle management issues that are likely to arise from FDAs regulations and the implementation of BPCIA. In this session, our panelists will explore the regulatory, patent, and exclusivity issues raised by BPCIA as well as the status and anticipated content of FDA rulemaking in this area. Points of discussion will include: FDA regulatory issues in the implementation of BPCIA - highly similar - interchangeability - user fees for expedited review - FDA waiver analytical studies animal studies human clinical studies - what can we glean from FDAs individual meetings with would-be biosimilar manufacturers? - regulatory lessons learned from Europe Market protection issues raised by the patent exchange procedures - benefits and risks of the patent exchange procedures disclosure of the biosimilars application question of what constitutes infringement perspective of the reference product sponsor list exchanges conundrum - weighing economic and cost considerations of the biosimilars pathway and the full BLA The potential impact and practical implications of the exclusivity provisions - 12-year exclusivity nature of the exclusivity criteria for eligibility importance of sameness definitions - interchangeability exclusivity uncertain duration potential need for at-risk launch - pediatric exclusivity - orphan drug exclusivity 11:45

safe harbor or stormy port?: calming the legal tempest left by Proveris

Analyzing the pivotal role that the Hatch-Waxman safe harbor plays in patent portfolio management and life cycle management Overview of the safe harbor exemption to patent infringement Identifying research tools under Proveris? if a patent can be extended under 156, does Proveris still apply? does Proveris control compounds used as research tools (e.g., comparators)? Under which circumstances does the safe harbor protect general screening (high through-put screening)? if not, where is the dividing line between unprotected screening and protected research? what is a reasonable basis for believing a compound or compounds may work for their intended purposes under Merck v. Integra when is post-approval testing protected under the safe harbor? can aspects of the research be farmed-out and still be protected? special considerations for antibodies vis--vis the safe harbor? exploring the applicability of the safe harbor in ITC actions?
