American Conference Institute Paragraph IV Disputes Conference

Loeb & Loeb LLP is proud to sponsor the American Conference Institute's (ACI) 6th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes Conference, where partner Warren K. MacRae will be moderating a panel titled "New Standards in Inequitable Conduct Post-Therasense: Ethical Considerations for Paragraph IV Cases."

From the conference website:

American Conference Institute’s 6th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes conference is the undisputed source for Hatch-Waxman litigation strategies for brand-names and generics. This event — which is widely recognized for setting the standards for Paragraph IV litigation and which also serves as the annual meeting place for the “who’s who” of pharmaceutical patent litigation — is now the single forum on which brand name and generic companies can rely for answers during this turbulent time in which the balance of power designed by the Hatch-Waxman Act may completely unravel. Come to this conference and get the up-to-the minute information that you need to prepare for the new litigation confrontations to come.
