AI Summary
This bill aims to amend Title 35 of the United States Code to clarify and improve the process for subsection (k) applicants (biosimilar applicants) to resolve patent infringement claims for biological products, commonly known as the "patent dance". The key provisions of the bill include limiting the reference product sponsor (brand-name manufacturer) to asserting no more than 20 patents, with no more than 10 issued after a certain date, and allowing the court to increase this limit under certain circumstances, such as if the subsection (k) applicant fails to provide required information. The bill also specifies that the limitation does not apply to patents claiming a method of using the biological product in therapy, diagnosis, or prophylaxis.
