Federal Circuit Denies En Banc Request in BPCIA case

Posted: 16 Oct 2015 07:59 AM PDT

by Dennis Crouch

Following the Federal Circuit’s first interpretation of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (“BPCIA”), neither the patentee (Amgen) nor the biosimilar applicant (Sandoz) were satisfied. Each petitioned separately for en banc rehearing and both petitions have now been denied in a per curium opinion.  (Background from Andrew Williams at PatentDocs). Both parties will likely petition the Supreme Court for further interpretation of the “biologics patent dance
