The Coronavirus pandemic is presenting unprecedented challenges to individuals and businesses around the world. Nevertheless, the essential business of making the world’s medicines continues. So too the litigation that is critical to the pharmaceutical industry’s pipelines.

  • Possible effects on FDA reviews of pending and future submissions;
  • Application of 30 month stays, 45 day complaint deadlines, exclusivity periods and patent dance exchange requirements;
  • Impact of recent legislation and regulatory activity upon deadlines before the PTO and PTAB.
