The emergence of the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) as a forum for patent validity disputes has altered the business landscape of both innovator and generic companies alike. PTAB proceedings are now commonplace for Orange Book pharmaceutical patents and Purple Book biologic/biosimilar patents. An understanding of the business impact of these proceedings from both a transactional and litigation perspective is critical for successful, in-house navigation. Likewise, trends within and across these proceedings, including final patent validity outcomes, impact on traditional Hatch-Waxman procedures, types of patents (compound, formulation, method of use) involved, and the timing of challenges, are critical components to a successful litigation and portfolio development strategy.

Please join Ropes & Gray’s PTAB Chair Scott McKeown, Life Sciences IP Litigation Chair Filko Prugo, and IP Transactions Partner Melissa Rones for the upcoming webinar providing a holistic analysis of these important Bio/Pharma disputes.

The formal portion of the webinar will begin at 2PM Eastern and will last for approximately 50-60 minutes. After the presentation there will be a Q&A period.
