  • Drug Prices, Political Pressures & Patents

    Drug Prices, Political Pressures & Patents
    Aug 20 2019
    Ropes & Gray’s podcast series, IP(DC), focuses on developments in intellectual property law from the vantage point of Ropes & Gray’s office on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The Trump Administration has targeted U.S. drug prices through a number of as yet unsuccessful cost control schemes—with the promise of more to come. At the same time, Congress is looking to restore patenting options for some technical areas such as medical diagnostics, while combating patent “ever-greening” for blockbuster drugs and treatments. Given this storm of legal issues, this IP(DC) podcast tackles the Administration’s confusing efforts to reign in drug pricing to date, while touching upon competing policies at play on the patent side of the business. In this episode, health care partner Tom Bulleit joins IP partners Scott McKeown and Matt Rizzolo.
