About the Conference
Each year, leading pharmaceutical patent litigators for brand name and generic drug companies along with representatives from key government agencies and the Federal Judiciary gather at ACI’s Paragraph IV Disputes conference to discuss, debate, and analyze the latest trends, judicial rulings and legislative developments affecting Hatch-Waxman litigation.
