Master the Necessary Skills
to Rise to the Newfound
Challenges of the Pharmaceutical
Patent Endgame
Dear Colleague:
American Conference Institute (ACI) is
very excited to return to Chicago for our
fourth annual Paragraph IV Disputes
Master Symposium. This conference,
along with its sister New York conference
presented in the spring, is the “place to
be” for the “who’s who” of litigators in the
brand-name and generic pharmaceutical
space. We are proud to provide you with
a forum where you can hear from industry
leaders on the hottest areas, while
connecting with your peers to discuss
the challenges that arise in the various
regions of the Hatch Waxman arena.
Fresh for this year, we have added several
new panels which will discuss: strategies
and best practices for balancing your
Hatch Waxman litigation budget, how to
best prepare for at-risk launch scenarios
while taking potential damages into
account, and a mock parallel proceeding
featuring live audience polling.
Our exceptional faculty — including several
new judges, past and current USPTO
representatives, and your peers — will
explore new on-sale bar considerations
in light of The Medicines Co. v. Hospira
and Helsinn v. Teva, the increased use
of parallel proceedings and the impact
of the Supreme Court’s recent decision
in Cuozzo, questions of personal and
general jurisdiction under Daimler and
Mylan, the evolving world of section 101
post Prometheus, Myriad, and Ariosa,
legal ethics, and more. This year’s event
will also feature two Judicial Roundtables
— one with District Court Judges and the
other with PTAB Judges.

- If venue and personal jurisdiction are one and the same —
how does the artificial act of infringement come into play?
Are the courts over-reaching?
- If a company can be sued wherever they “may”
sell drugs, then does this follow through to general
and specific jurisdiction?

Setting
The increased use of parallel litigations in the Hatch-Waxman
arena adds yet another fun twist to the “boxing-gloves-on”
atmosphere of this type of high-stakes litigation. Attempting
to navigate the proceedings between these two forums has been
described as “walking a tightrope.” In this interactive session,
the panelists will illustrate the tricks and techniques of this
balancing act through a mock parallel invalidity hearing in both
a “District Court” and “the PTAB.”
We will provide the audience with a fact pattern, and our
“patent challenger” and “patent holder” will duke it out before a
“District Court” and a “PTAB panel.”
Deliberations and Polling
At the end of the mock hearing and motion, delegates will
deliberate and use polling devices to cast their votes as to the
outcome in each forum.

IPRs have become an important component in the Hatch-
Waxman arsenal. As such, knowing the “ins and outs” of PTAB
practice is a critical competency for today’s Hatch-Waxman

appearing before this administrative body.

Setting
The decision whether or not to launch a generic product
“at risk” brings with it many potential dangers, as well as very
lucrative benefits. Each drug product presents a unique risk-
benefit analysis, including assessment of profit, calculation of
lost profits/damages, determining royalties, and more. In this
interactive case study, the parties will take part in a hypothetical
multi-party litigation, and will demonstrate some valuable
strategies from both the generic and branded viewpoint. Come
prepared with your most complex damages-related inquiries.

FDA. In this workshop, our top-notch authorities will outfit
associates and in-house attorneys who are new to this area
with all aspects of practicing in the Hatch-Waxman arena.

Mastering the IPR Process in a Hatch-Waxman Scenario
Janet Gongola
Patent Reform Coordinator
United States Patent and Trademark Office (Alexandria, VA)
Honorable Teresa Rea
Partner
Crowell & Moring LLP (Washington, DC)
(Former Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property
and Former Acting Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office)
In the nearly four years since the inception of Inter Partes Review, most Hatch-Waxman
practitioners are still “getting their feet wet” in this unique type of litigation. The frequency
of IPRs in the life sciences sector has steadily increased, and practitioners need to be as well
prepared for these situations as possible. In this workshop, we will examine some best practice
tips and also pitfalls to be wary of in the pharmaceutical patent field.
• How ANDA applicants are using IPR in connection with Paragraph IV Litigation
• How to Institute an IPR and how to win
• Pros and cons of filing a stay
• Review of PTAB Decisions in pharmaceutical IPRs
• Do ANDA filers have standing to file an IPR, and do they work in Hatch Waxman cases?
• How to strategically get around a patent/shorten exclusivities
• Effect of IPR for first filers vs. later filers
- Pros and Cons for a first filer to file an IPR
• Mechanism between orange book listing issues and IPR
- If a filer wins an IPR, then files a Paragraph IV certification, what is the outcome
- When a second filer enters, how does this affect the case?
- If PTAB decision says claims are invalid, the patent is alive until a Federal Circuit
affirmance, so how does this impact the district court case? Does the PTAB decision
allow the stay to be lifted? Does the PTAB decision mean a judgement in the generic’s
favor? Both?
• Stats of IPR vs. District Court Decisions
• Rare PTAB Rehearing Granted — Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. AstraZeneca AB,
No. IPR2015-01340
• The aftermath of Cuozzo Speed Technologies, LLC v. Lee
