Abstract
Inter partes review (IPR) proceedings have been an attractive ground for drug companies seeking to challenge the patentability of pharmaceutical products. The IPR allows challengers to maximize the streamlined process of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) while also taking advantage of the benefits provided by the Hatch-Waxman Act. Given this backdrop, the number of challenges utilizing the IPR process is predicted to continuously climb this year and beyond.
Practitioners must, therefore, ensure that they are prepared in this rapidly evolving climate. The need to stay on top of the recent legal developments to devise effective litigation strategies is more crucial than ever. Some of the 2019 rulings which lawyers should consider in developing strategies this 2020 include Return Mail v. U.S. Postal Service, Regents of the Univ. of Minn. v. LSI Corp., and AVX Corp. v. Presidio Components Inc.
Join patent litigators Tony V. Pezzano (DLA Piper) and Aaron L.J. Pereira (Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP) as they delve into an in-depth analysis of the significant issues resulting from the interaction between IPR proceedings and the Hatch-Waxman Act. Speakers will also provide practical strategies in bringing out the best in these lawsuits in light of the current trends and recent court rulings.
