Insights: Publications Hatch-Waxman cases in the Wild West

IPPro Life Sciences

But during that time, the district has seen little in the way of Hatch-Waxman litigation. That is changing, and changing fast. Branded pharmaceutical companies are filing more and more Hatch-Waxman cases there, and with success. If history is a guide, the eastern district may become a preferred venue for Hatch-Waxman cases in the near future with serious consequences for all parties involved.
