Key regulatory developments include the new Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA-V), which aims to improve interaction between the FDA and drug developers, standardize Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy plans, and cut drug shortages. However, approval times are increasing by 2 months.
On the intellectual property front, the new patent reform bill – the America Invents Act enacted in September 2011 – brings greater uniformity between the US patenting system and other major markets through a range of measures. It aims to improve the quality of patents (which tends to be lower in the US compared to Europe) and improves certainty in litigation.
