FTC Issues New Warnings to Teva and Novartis Over Improper Orange Book Patent Listings

• The Federal Trade Commission has renewed challenges against Novartis, Teva, and other pharmaceutical companies for allegedly improper patent listings in the FDA's Orange Book. • The disputed listings involve more than 200 patents across 17 brand-name products, primarily for asthma, diabetes, epinephrine autoinjectors, and COPD medications. • According to the FTC, these improper device patent listings may delay generic competition, artificially inflate drug prices, and restrict patient access to affordable medications.
