Bill Lewris on the Patent Dance

In June, the Supreme Court announced its decisions in Sandoz v. Amgen and Amgen v. Sandoz – cases that examined how makers of biosimilars and branded biologic drugs bring products to market. At issue was the so-called “patent dance,” a complex series of disclosures between biosimilar makers and the manufacturers of branded versions. In its decision, the Court left it up to states to decide whether to enforce the patent dance and how. In this podcast, Finnegan partner Bill Lewris discusses implications of the decision.
