American Conference Institute has announced that its first ever conference devoted entirely to Hatch-Waxman litigation will take place April 23-24, 2007, at the Sheraton New York Hotel and Towers in New York City.
The conference promises “expert insights on Hatch-Waxman litigation strategies for brand names and generics.” Speakers will include leading patent litigators who specialize in Paragraph IV litigation. Additionally, an optional half-day Master Class, “Settling Paragraph IV Disputes: Brand Name and Generic Perspectives,” is offered on April 25.
