The “written description” must be “in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same.” Ibid. “The object of the statute is to require the patentee to describe his invention so that others may construct and use it after the expiration of the patent.” Schriber-Schroth Co. v. Cleveland Tr. Co., 305 U.S. 47, 57 (1938). The Federal Circuit has construed §112(a) as impos- ing separate “written description” and “enablement” re- quirements subject to different standards.

  • Rxoutlook® 4Th Quarter 2020
    ® RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 optum.com/optumrx a RxOutlook 4th Quarter 2020 While COVID-19 vaccines draw most attention, multiple “firsts” are expected from the pipeline in 1Q:2021 Great attention is being given to pipeline drugs that are being rapidly developed for the treatment or prevention of SARS- CoV-19 (COVID-19) infection, particularly two vaccines that are likely to receive emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the near future. Earlier this year, FDA issued a Guidance for Industry that indicated the FDA expected any vaccine for COVID-19 to have at least 50% efficacy in preventing COVID-19. In November, two manufacturers, Pfizer and Moderna, released top-line results from interim analyses of their investigational COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer stated their vaccine, BNT162b2 had demonstrated > 90% efficacy. Several days later, Moderna stated their vaccine, mRNA-1273, had demonstrated 94% efficacy. Many unknowns still exist, such as the durability of response, vaccine performance in vulnerable sub-populations, safety, and tolerability in the short and long term. Considering the first U.S. case of COVID-19 was detected less than 12 months ago, the fact that two vaccines have far exceeded the FDA’s guidance and are poised to earn EUA clearance, is remarkable. If the final data indicates a positive risk vs. benefit profile and supports final FDA clearance, there may be lessons from this accelerated development timeline that could be applied to the larger drug development pipeline in the future. Meanwhile, drug development in other areas continues. In this edition of RxOutlook, we highlight 12 key pipeline drugs with potential to launch by the end of the first quarter of 2021.

  • Statement of Chairman Joseph J. Simons, Commissioner Noah Joshua Phillips, and Commissioner Christine S
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, DC 20580 Statement of Chairman Joseph J. Simons, Commissioner Noah Joshua Phillips, and Commissioner Christine S. Wilson Concerning the Proposed Acquisition of Allergan plc by AbbVie Inc. May 5, 2020 AbbVie Inc. (“AbbVie”), the seventh largest pharmaceutical company in the world by revenue, proposes to acquire Allergan plc (“Allergan”), the twentieth largest.1 The parties’ portfolios are largely complementary, as AbbVie primarily develops and markets products in the immunology, oncology, and virology areas, while Allergan is focused on aesthetics and eye care. This transaction poses competitive concerns in three relevant markets: (1) drugs for the treatment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (“EPI”); (2) Interleukin-23 (“IL-23”) inhibitors for the treatment of moderate-to-severe Crohn’s disease; and (3) IL-23 inhibitors for the treatment of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis. In these areas, the parties are two of a limited number of firms with products on the market or in development. The Commission has voted 3-2 to issue a complaint and accept a settlement resolving every substantial threat to competition uncovered by FTC staff and supported by the evidence, after a thorough investigation lasting ten months and involving more than forty interviews and the review of more than 430,000 documents. The proposed order remedies the competitive concerns by requiring the merging parties to divest Allergan’s EPI drugs Zenpep and Viokace to Nestlé, S.A. (“Nestlé”) and to transfer Allergan’s assets related to the IL-23 inhibitor brazikumab back to AstraZeneca plc (“AstraZeneca”), the drug’s original developer, by terminating the AstraZeneca license to Allergan.

On Petition For A Writ Of Certiorari To The United States Court Of Appeals For The Federal Circuit PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI Anthony M.

Rice JONES DAY JONES DAY 51 Louisiana Ave. NW 150 W. Jefferson Ave. Washington, DC 20001 Suite 2100 (202) 879-3939 Detroit, MI 48226 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioners QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Patent Act provides that patents must “contain a written description of the invention” in “such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same.” 35 U.S.C. § 112(a). The law has long recognized that patents including “genus” claims—i.e., claims that identify a class of substances—can satisfy § 112(a). In the field of pharmaceuticals, inventing a genus of compounds is often the key to lifesaving medical innovation, and spelling out each potential embodiment—that is, every chemical variant with the same property—can be practically impossible. This petition presents two related questions: 1. Whether, as the Federal Circuit has held, a genus claim is not enabled “as a matter of law” if it encompasses a large number of compounds—or whether, as this Court has recognized, enablement is a context-specific jury question; and 2.

COVID-19 Vaccination-Related Lymphadenopathy: What To Be Aware Of Wendy Tu, MD1, David S. Gierada, MD2, Bonnie N. Joe, MD, PhD3 1 - Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA. 2 - Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO. 3 - Breast Imaging, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, UCSF, San Francisco, CA. Corresponding author: Wendy Tu, [email protected] Funding: None Manuscript Type: Editorial Disclosures: Dr. Joe is a deputy editor of Radiology: Imaging Cancer, Dr. Gierada is an associate editor of Radiology: Imaging Cancer, Dr. Tu is a trainee editorial board member of Radiology: Imaging Cancer. Essentials With the rollout of mass COVID-19 vaccination across the world, vaccine-induced lymphadenopathy is an important side effect for clinicians, patients, and cancer researchers to be aware of. Vaccine-induced lymphadenopathy can present as a diagnostic dilemma for radiologists. Evolving imaging guidelines are needed to address management strategies of vaccine- induced lymphadenopathy in both the general population and high-risk oncology patients. Documentation of vaccination status is critical to decrease unnecessary biopsies and alleviate patient anxiety. Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the landscape of society since February of 2020 with a significant and tragic impact on morbidity and mortality with 2.77 million deaths across the world and 548,087 deaths in the United States as of March 26, 2021.
