About the Conference
Each year, leading pharmaceutical patent litigators for brand name and generic drug companies along with representatives from key government agencies and the Federal Judiciary gather at ACI’s Paragraph IV Disputes conference to discuss, debate, and analyze the latest trends, judicial rulings and legislative developments affecting Hatch-Waxman litigation. As the industry prepares to address the fall out of global pharmaceutical patent losses of billions of dollars on the Hatch-Waxman landscape as well as the impact of the global pandemic, the time for this conference has never been more relevant.
