Master the Skills Needed to Overcome the Challenges of Modern Paragraph IV Litigation

Each fall, leading pharmaceutical patent litigators for brand name and generic drug companies gather at the Paragraph IV Disputes Master Symposium in Chicago to receive up-to-the-minute information on the latest developments affecting Hatch-Waxman litigation and participate in significant peer-to-peer networking opportunities.

As the industry prepares to address the fallout of global pharmaceutical patent losses of billions of dollars and the impact of evolving law, regulation and policy impacting the Hatch-Waxman landscape, the time for this conference has never been more relevant.

“As the legal landscape shifts, with precedential opinions from the Supreme Court, new legislation in the way of the Inflation Reduction Act, and the opening of the UPC, it’s an exciting time to be involved in the intellectual property field, and particularly in the Hatch-Waxman area. Join us for a robust discussion on these emerging topics; for a view to round tables with chief IP counsel, judges and regulators; and for updates on some of the fundamentals, like citizen petitions and reissue/reexamination.”

“I am excited to co-chair ACI’s 9th Annual Paragraph IV Master Symposium in Chicago! I look forward to the top-notch content and breadth of insight from key in-house and outside counsel and judges. It’s an excellent opportunity to connect and engage with colleagues and the judiciary to share ideas and strategies in the constantly changing landscape of Hatch-Waxman law and the pharmaceutical industry.”
