ACI 9th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes Master Symposium

Axinn partners Jason Murata and Ted Mathias will speak at American Conference Institute's 9th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes Master Symposium, being held October 24-25 in Chicago. 

On October 24, Jason will speak on a panel entitled, "Insights on the Future of §112: Satisfying the Requirements of Enablement and Written Description under Amgen v. Sanofi." Panelists will discuss: 

• The Supreme Court’s consideration of the enablement requirement taking stock of what the decision means when a patent claims a class of novel compounds or antibodies.
• The impact of the decision on the ability to protect broader foundational innovations and the impact of other influential §112 cases like Juno, Biogen and Idenix.
• Whether patentees must disclose enough information to “enable” people of ordinary skill in the relevant art to “reach the full scope” of a claimed invention.
•  Implementing best practices for patent prosecution in view of the decision and strengthening and invalidating patent claims moving post Amgen v. Sanofi.

On October 25, Ted will speak on a panel entitled, "A 360 Degree Examination of Reverse-Payment Settlements: Non-Monetary Provisions, State Legislation, Expert Testimony, and Recent Litigation." Panelists will discuss: 

• Recent trends in how agencies and courts approach reverse payments.
• Settlement strategies from the perspectives of brands and generics.
• Structuring agreements and identifying antitrust concerns.

• The state legislation directly addressing “reverse payment” patent settlements.

• Avoiding costly litigation and associated penalties by effectively complying with the law.
