3rd Annual Paragraph IV Disputes

Monday, April 27 to Tuesday, April 28, 2009
Marriott New York, Downtown, New York, NY

With 549 ANDA’s containing Paragraph IV Certifications currently pending before the Office of Generic Drugs, patent litigators on both sides, must be acutely attuned to what their opponent’s next move maybe in order to achieve success at trial. Several changes have taken place in the past few months that will have an impact on Paragraph IV litigation in 2009. With a new administration taking office, bringing with it different priorities for patent reform legislation and market exclusivity for brand name products, this event is the one forum both brand name and generic litigation counsel can attend to obtain the latest updates on issues affecting the outcome of Paragraph IV disputes.
