Counsel from Sanofi and Mallinckrodt to Co-Chair ACI's Paragraph IV Disputes this April in NYC

NEW YORK - March 8, 2022 - PRLog -- American Conference Institute (ACI) is pleased to announce that Stephanie Donahue, Principal Counsel – Global Patent Litigation Global Intellectual Property Department Legal, Ethics & Business Integrity, Sanofi-Aventis and Lars Taavola, VP, Chief IP Counsel & General Counsel, Specialty Generics of Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals will be co-chairing its 17^th Annual Paragraph IV Disputes conference taking place live and in-person April 26-27, 2022, in New York City.

Stephanie Donahue describes the event as, "The ACI PIV conference is the "must attend" conference for any Hatch-Waxman practitioner. No other conference provides the opportunity to hear from and network with the top in-house representatives and leading law firms representing companies on both sides of the "v." This conference annually delivers lively discussion and debate with thought leaders on up-to-the-minute trends and hot-button issues in this specialized practice area."

Lars also notes that, "If you want to meet and hear from leaders in the pharmaceutical industry, you need to attend ACI's Paragraph IV. You cannot find another event that brings together such a knowledgeable group of in-house representatives, outside counsel, members of the judiciary, and members of the USPTO. These are the folks that have and continue to shape Hatch-Waxman law."

Leaders from both brand and generic drug companies recognize that this event serves both sides of the industry and offers both legal and economic "take aways" for every sphere of this costly, complex and evolving litigation. This event addresses the hot topics, while putting them within the context of pre-suit considerations, case filings, final adjudication and every step in between. This unique dynamic exemplifies not only the importance of the content and legal theory presented, but the contending business acuities as well.

This event will bring speakers from brand and generic companies, as well as Judges — both from the federal judiciary, and U.S. P.T.O.'s PTAB —, the FTC, and the FDA.
