The Undisputed Source for Hatch-Waxman Litigation Strategies for Brand Name and Generic Drug Companies
ACI’s Paragraph IV Disputes – the first and original conference of its kind – is the most trusted source for the ‘ins and outs’ of Paragraph IV litigation. We are proud to bring this event – which serves as the essential litigation playbook for brand name and generic drug companies in the high stakes arena of Hatch-Waxman litigation – to California to best serve our West Coast delegates.
The inherent intensity of Paragraph IV litigation has been magnifi ed of late by the seemingly unending repercussions of the Hatch-Waxman reforms of the MMA, proposed Patent Reform legislation, the approval of an abbreviated pathway for follow-on biological products and threat of pending legislation, which may make settlements of these matters near impossible – let alone illegal. These factors have added to the complexity of this litigation, and have also raised the monetary ante to unprecedented heights. In this environment, it is imperative that brand name and generic pharmaceutical companies and their counsel, have the offensive moves and defensive plays that they need to meet the challenges of pharmaceutical patent endgame litigation.
ACI’s Paragraph IV Disputes conference has been designed to give counsel for both brand name and generic companies the critical up-to-the minute information that they need to plan their Hatch-Waxman litigation strategies.
An experienced faculty comprised of respected and renowned counsel for both brand name and generic pharmaceutical companies will provide insights on every facet of Paragraph IV litigation from pre-litigation concerns to the commencement of suit through to fi nal adjudication – and every step in between. This conference will also provide you with access to a renowned FTC Commissioner. You will learn firsthand what the FTC deems fair and foul in the settlement of Paragraph IV disputes.
By popular demand – and in light of current legislative developments, we will once again offer our exclusive Master Class on Settling Paragraph IV Disputes: Brand-Name and Generic Perspectives. This in-depth workshop will offer valuable up-to-the minute insights and strategies on and from both sides as to what may now well be the most critical aspect of a Paragraph IV challenge.
Also, this year, in response to your requests, we have added the following specialized class: Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA 101 – A Primer on IP Basics and Regulatory Fundamentals.
