題名: | A Brand-Name Drug Company May Violate Section Two of the Sherman Act by Mislabeling a Submitted Patent in the Orange Book: An Implication from In Re Actos End-Payor Antitrust Litigation, 848 F.3d 89 (2d Cir. 2017) | 作者: | 陳秉訓 Chen, Ping-Hsun |

Nevertheless, a mechanism exists for a brand-name drug company to adjudicate a patent infringement dispute before the FDA approves an ANDA. The mechanism includes the regulatory scheme of patent information submission implemented by the FDA. 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(1) requires that patent information be correct. False patent information destroys the objectives of the Hatch-Waxman Act. In re Actos End-Payor Antitrust Litigation, 848 F.3d 89 (2d Cir. 2017), may demonstrate a new formoffalsepatentinformation,becausethedefendanttheremislabeledthe disputedpatents asdrugproductpatents ratherthanmethod-of-usepatents. The mislabeling caused one generic drug company not to use a Section viii statement to speed up approval of its ANDA. As a result of the mislabeling, the marketing of generic drugs was delayed, and patients were forced to pay monopoly prices for their drugs. This Article argues that such mislabeling violates Section 2 of the Sherman Act, which criminalizes monopolizationachievedthroughanticompetitiveconduct. | 關聯: | Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law, Vol.13, No.2, pp.395-416 | 資料類型: | article |
