  • I4i Makes the Patent World Blind Michael J
    COMMENTS i4i Makes the Patent World Blind Michael J. Conway† All patents receive a presumption of validity pursuant to 35 USC § 282. Courts have traditionally put this presumption into practice by requiring inva- lidity to be established by clear and convincing evidence. The Supreme Court reaffirmed this understanding of the presumption in Microsoft Corp v i4i Ltd Partnership. District courts have divided, however, on whether to require clear and con- vincing evidence when the challenger seeks to invalidate a patent for covering inel- igible subject matter. The conflict originates from a concurrence written by Justice Stephen Breyer in i4i, in which he stated that a heightened standard of proof—like the clear and convincing standard—can apply only to issues of fact, not issues of law. Because subject-matter eligibility has traditionally presented an issue of law, some courts hold that subject-matter-eligibility challenges cannot be subjected to the clear and convincing standard. Other courts agree with that sentiment but would apply the clear and convincing standard to resolve any underlying issues of fact. Still others maintain that subject-matter-eligibility challenges must be estab- lished by clear and convincing evidence. This Comment resolves this ambiguity by showing that subject-matter- eligibility challenges must be established by clear and convincing evidence. It com- pares subject-matter-eligibility challenges to two other patent validity challenges: the on-sale bar and nonobviousness. These two comparisons show that patent law has consistently failed to confine the clear and convincing standard to issues of law. In fact, the standard has been imposed without regard for the distinction be- tween issues of law and fact.

  • In Re Incretin-Based Therapies Products Liability Litigation Transfer Order
    Case MDL No. 2452 Document 71 Filed 08/26/13 Page 1 of 4 UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL on MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION IN RE: INCRETIN MIMETICS PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION MDL No. 2452 TRANSFER ORDER Before the Panel: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, plaintiffs in two Southern District of California actions move to centralize this litigation, which involves four anti-diabetic medications that plaintiffs contend cause pancreatic cancer, in the Southern District of California. This litigation currently consists of 53 actions pending in seven districts, as listed on Schedule A.1 All responding parties support centralization. Plaintiffs in fifteen Southern District of California actions and a District of Arizona action support plaintiffs’ motion in its entirety. Defendants2 support centralization in the Southern District of California or, alternatively, the District of Colorado or the Western District of Oklahoma. On the basis of the papers filed and hearing session held, we find that these actions involve common questions of fact, and that centralization of all actions in the Southern District of California will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. Plaintiffs in all actions allege that the use of one or more of four anti-diabetic incretin- based medications – Janumet (sitagliptin combined with metformin), Januvia (sitagliptin), Byetta (exenatide) and Victoza (liraglutide) – caused them or their decedent to develop pancreatic cancer. Centralization will eliminate duplicative discovery; prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings (particularly on such matters as Daubert rulings); and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary. We are “typically hesitant to centralize litigation against multiple, competing defendants which marketed, manufactured and sold similar products.” In re Yellow Brass Plumbing Component Prods.

  • Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Update
    Healthcare & Life Sciences Industry Update August 2011 Member FINRA/SIPC www.harriswilliams.com What We’ve Been Reading August 2011 • The biggest story from inside the Beltway over the last month was the battle and eventual deal to raise the U.S. debt ceiling to avoid an impending August 2nd default. The Budget Control Act of 2011 will raise the debt ceiling by $2.1-$2.4 trillion, while reducing spending by approximately $2.1 trillion over the next decade. In an interesting post-deal analysis, Michael Hiltzik of the Los Angeles Times notes that despite the protracted negotiations over a broad spectrum of cost-cutting measures, healthcare was not raised as a primary issue. Some have found this especially concerning, considering the outsized portion of the Federal Budget currently allocated to healthcare spending, which is forecast to rise in the coming years. A recent article in The Economist, entitled “Looking to Uncle Sam” makes this point and goes further to suggest that Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) actuaries may be underestimating future increases in Medicare and Medicaid spending. • One potential reason CMS actuaries may be underestimating the future costs of Medicare and Medicaid relates to healthcare reform’s effect on employee benefits, and specifically, the 2014 switch to subsidized exchange policies. A recent report by McKinsey & Company estimates that approximately 30% of employers will stop offering employer- sponsored insurance (ESI) when this switch is made, as opposed to the 7% estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. An ESI exodus of this magnitude could cause substantial strain on an already robust government healthcare budget.
