Biosimilar Law Experts Discuss Potential Bills and Chances for Passage

Podcast

We sat down with Ha Kung Wong, an intellectual property law attorney and partner at Venable Fitzpatrick in New York and April Breyer Menon, an expert on biosimilar patent law and founder of April Breyer Consulting in Chicago, Illinois, to discuss potential bills to improve biosimilar uptake and their chances for passage.

Several pieces of legislation have been introduced in Congress to help boost uptake, generate savings for payers and patients, and increase biosimilar access. However, not every bill is likely to become a law, as politics and money can often get in the way.
