    Abstract
    In its recent Amgen v. Sandoz decision, the Federal Circuit has ruled that the innovators’ initiation of Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) pre-litigation information exchanges, known as “patent dance,” is unenforceable under state law. This is in addition to its June 2017 decision which held that patent dance cannot be enforced under the federal law, either. Thus, innovators seeking for biosimilar makers’ disclosures, may have no other option but to sue for infringement.

    Recent decisions, such as this, clearly impact the BPCIA litigation landscape. Biosimilar makers and innovator companies eyeing patent litigation should keep themselves abreast of key biosimilar developments in 2018 and beyond.

    In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the fundamentals as well as updates regarding the latest and significant issues surrounding the BPCIA Patent Dance. Speakers will also give insights on practical BPCIA litigation strategies and the economic implications of patent protection from biosimilar competition as they delve into in-depth-analysis of recent court rulings in a rapidly evolving legal climate.

    Key topics include:
    • BPCIA Patent Dance: Recent Trends and Developments
    • Notable Court Rulings
    • Best Litigation Strategies in Light of Updates--To Dance or Not To Dance?
    • Economic Implications of Biologic Patents and Litigation Strategies
    • Outlook on Regulatory and Litigation Activities
