NERA Insights Webinar | Trends in Pharmaceutical Patents and the Potential Impact of Exclusivity
17 November 2020
Hosted By: NERA Economic Consulting
Mistakes in obtaining proper patent coverage could cost a pharmaceutical company valuable property rights. Securing and then listing patents in the FDA’s Orange Book provides companies the ability to protect the substantial investment made during drug development, which is important as companies commonly face competition at all stages of drug development and commercialization from competing drug developers and generics.
In this free, one-hour webinar, held on 17 November at 12:00–1:00 pm EST, Former Senior Consultant Dr. Omar Robles and Finnegan Attorneys Dr. Ryan O’Quinn and Amy Fulton will:
- Provide an overview of the FDA Orange Book, including what to list (and what not to list);
- Review recent congressional activity in pharmaceutical patents, focusing on new federal and state legislation;
- Highlight the FDA’s recent policy changes; and
- Discuss trends in patent issuance and patent exclusivity from 2011 to 2018.
