The Rules of the Pharmaceutical Patent Endgame have been radically altered by the introduction of a new medicinal entity. A new pharmaceutical patent paradigm has emerged. Get ready to play. Be part of the only event which for over a decade has prepared brand name and generic drug companies — and biopharmaceutical companies — for this moment. A decade ago, at ACI’s first Maximizing Pharmaceutical Patent Life Cycles conference, we discussed the possible introduction of an abbreviated pathway for follow-on biological products and contemplated its impact on life cycle strategies. We continued to explore this topic at every iteration of this conference that followed.

FOBs are here: that which we once contemplated is now a reality. The pharmaceutical industry must assess how this new application process for biosimilars under Title VII of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, P.L. 111-148), i.e., Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCIA) will interact with existing patent life cycle planning under Hatch-Waxman and other mechanisms.

We have entered a new era with the introduction of biosimilars, however, other and more familiar anxieties under Hatch-Waxman still abound. Potential patent losses for small molecules are projected to exceed $40 billion by 2012 alone1 as patent protections on more brand name drugs, including some notable block busters, are set to expire. New decisions affecting forfeitures, Orange Book listings, methods claims and claims drafting are shaping the evolution of Hatch-Waxman. There is also concern over how proposed patent reform legislation may be yet another game changer. Moreover, the aggressive stance of various agencies including the PTO, FDA and FTC on various components of Hatch-Waxman adds to this uncertainty.

Now is the time to come to the one and only event that has consistently allowed brand name and generic drug makers to benchmark their companies’ current Hatch-Waxman – and BPCIA – strategies and tactics against competitors in both camps. This 11th American Conference Institute event on Maximizing Pharmaceutical Patent Life Cycles will bring you the thoughtful and targeted commentary and in-depth analysis that you have come to expect from this industry leading conference: • Focused panels on differences between Biosimilar Applications and ANDAs which will allow you to assess how elements of these applications processes will impact decisions in life cycle management • Access to key figures from the USPTO (Invited), FTC, USP and FDA (Invited), who will provide you with direct insights into the logic of these agencies on some of the most pressing matters affecting pharmaceutical life cycle patent strategies, including: - PTA and PTE determinations - Pay-for-Delay settlements and product switching - Biological products and substitutions - Proposed forfeiture regulations • Analyses of key cases that have affected patent life cycle planning and tips for using these rulings to your advantage Also, by popular demand, we have brought back our specialized classes on: • Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA 101 — A Primer on IP Basics and Regulatory Fundamentals • The Master Class on Patent Term Adjustment and Patent Term Extensions for Pharmaceutical and Biological Patents and have updated them to address not only Hatch-Waxman matters, but some of the most pressing issues concerning biosimilars as well. Additionally, in response to your request for more in-depth information on extending patent life in foreign jurisdictions and IP maneuvering in emerging BRIC markets, we are pleased to offer a workshop on: • Pharmaceutical Patent Life Cycle Strategies for the EU and Emerging Markets Nearly 2,500 pharmaceutical patent professionals – for both brand names and generics – have made this conference their source of information for the legal issues surrounding life cycle management for over the last ten years. This updated event will bring you the latest legal strategies and tactics for successful maneuvering in the evolving pharmaceutical patent endgame. With all that’s at stake, you cannot afford to miss this conference.

WORKSHOP A Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA 101: A Primer on IP Basics and Regulatory Fundamentals 8:00

Registration and Continental Breakfast Product commercialization and the pre-approval process are critical aspects and considerations in the development and eventual patenting of small molecules and biologics. This handson workshop will give you critical insights into commercialization and the pre-approval process, and provide you with an in-depth review of Hatch-Waxman and the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009 (BPCIA) as well as other IP and regulatory basics relative to small molecules and biologics. The workshop leaders will lay the necessary foundation for you to comprehend thoroughly the dynamics of patent life cycles as they apply to pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical products and business development plans. They also will help you fully appreciate the complexities of the new IP and regulatory challenges presented during the main conference.

Meier Assistant Director of the Health Care Division Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission (Washington, DC) The FTC continues to vigorously use its enforcement and policy tools to prevent anticompetitive business practices in the pharmaceutical industry. In the last 18 months, the Commission has issued pronouncements on the antitrust implications of different components of health care reform that impact the pharmaceutical industry, and it has remained steadfast in its longtime stance that certain industry behaviors concerning patent settlements are anticompetitive. In this session, Markus Meier, Assistant Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition’s Health Care Division will discuss the FTC’s position in these matters, including: • The current status of the FTC’s efforts to end “pay-fordelay” settlements - enforcement of MMA reporting requirements - alignment of FTC and DOJ on “pay-for-delay” - status of pending legislation • Analysis of the competitive implications of other pharmaceutical life-cycle management strategies that may be used to improperly hinder generic competition

- product switching strategies - FDA restricted distribution systems • Findings from the FTC’s Interim Report on Authorized Generics 11:00

FDA Keynote: Update on FDA Activities Relative to Pharmaceutical Patent Life Cycles for Small and Large Molecules Elizabeth Dickinson (Invited) Associate Chief Counsel, Office of the Chief Counsel U.S. Food and Drug Administration (Rockville, MD) The FDA’s jurisdiction over the Orange Book and patents which can be listed within it, its decision-making powers concerning the consequences of de-listing patents, as well as its recent determinations regarding exclusivity forfeitures illustrate the agency’s critical role in the pharmaceutical patent endgame. The discretionary Rule Making authority granted to the agency in matters of follow-on biologics under BPCIA further enhances this role. This session will cover the present state of the FDA’s authority in Orange Book listings, the possible release of proposed regulations on forfeiture and other Hatch-Waxman and FOB-related matters.

e Master Class on Patent Term Adjustment and Workshop C Th Patent Term Extensions for Pharmaceutical and Biological Patents

Jane T. Gunnison Partner Ropes & Gray (New York) Denise L. Loring Partner Ropes & Gray (New York) Richard S. Parr Assistant Counsel Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, NJ) The effective term of a patent covering a marketed product can be less than the full 20 years if the product is not brought to market by the patent’s issue date. This situation is of special interest for pharmaceutical and biological products, where the regulatory review required for market approval can take many months or even years. Patent Term Adjustment and Patent Term Extensions are vehicles which have been employed to make up for this lost time before the PTO and FDA, respectively. Recent decisions in this area of PTA and PTE law as well as the passage of biosimilars legislation this past March have highlighted the importance of these devices. Additionally, certain regulatory exclusivities and careful use of secondary patents also pay an important role in patent longevity in the life sciences. This hands-on session will provide you with practical advice, as well as tips and techniques for PTA and PTE. The session leaders will take you through the intricacies of the four major ways of getting more time on your patent, and provide you with the tools that you need to accomplish this goal in this time of changing rules and regulations. Points of discussion include: 1. Extension of patent term under 35 U.S.C. § 156 and 37 CFR 1.710 – 1.791 • Important benchmarks in the drug’s/biologic’s development and patent timelines • Eligibility for patent term extension • Regulatory review period determinations • How to calculate the patent term restored - respective roles of the FDA and PTO in granting patent extensions - third-party challenges — “diligence” • Definitions for “drug product” and “regulatory review period” 2. The preparation and submission of a patent term restoration application 3. Patent term extensions outside the U.S. 4. Patent term adjustment due to delays in prosecution before the USPTO and strategies for: • Diligence in prosecution by the patent applicant • Calculating the adjustment period 5. Extensions obtained through FDA Pediatric Exclusivity and Orphan Drug Exclusivity: • Criteria for eligibility • Opportunities and pitfalls • Latest regulatory and legal developments - FDAAA 6. Obtaining patent coverage for pharmaceuticals through the use of second-generation patents, e.g., • Maintaining patent position for second-generation products • Approaches taken by pharmaceutical companies in obtaining second-generation patents - enforcement of second-generation patents - effect of post-KSR obviousness rulings on their validity © American Conference Institute, 2010
