By Chris Holman I enjoyed reading the recent article by Professors Rantanen and Datzov , and was not surprised by their conclusion that the courts are generally applying the Supreme Court’s patent eligibility precedent in a relatively predictable manner. I have not conducted such a systematic review of patent eligibility decisions, but over the years I have read quite a few of them, and for some time I have felt that I can usually predict which way the court will go in deciding these cases.

The listing of many types of patents in the FDA’s Orange Book (Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations) is fairly straightforward. Patents covering the approved drug product (active pharmaceutical ingredient) or its methods of use can be listed. However, other kinds of patents may require a more careful evaluation, especially in light of a recent policy statement issued by the FTC signaling plans “to scrutinize improper Orange Book listings to determine whether these.

In almost every claim construction, the courts make their claim construction ruling largely based on the intrinsic evidence – the claims, specification and prosecution history. However, the Federal Circuit (CAFC) bucked this trend on November 7th, 2023, vacating an infringement judgment against Mylan in the Northern District of West Virginia. The CAFC remanded the case for the district court to consider extrinsic evidence in the form of chemistry textbooks to establish the meaning of the claim.
