Event Synopsis:
Congress enacted the Hatch-Waxman Act, formally known as the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, P.L. 98-417, to expedite and streamline both generic drug approvals and patent litigation relating to generic drugs. Prior to the adoption of the Act, no streamlined Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval process existed for generic drugs. Instead, companies seeking to market generic drugs were required to conduct the same kinds of expensive, lengthy clinical trials that drug companies conducted for new brand-named drugs. Additionally, the Act provided a safe harbor to allow generic drug companies to investigate and patent new drugs in order to get FDA approval without the risk of patent infringement liability. See Roche Prods., Inc. v. Bolar Pharm. Co., 733 F.2d 858 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
Although the Hatch-Waxman Act has been amended multiple times since its enactment, the underlying structure remains the same, and the number of generic drugs successfully reaching the market has increased dramatically. However, along with the remarkable upsurge in approvals, the ever-changing landscape of Hatch-Waxman litigation creates new risks and challenges for both brand drug sponsor companies and generic companies every day.
