Ahead-Of-Print: Inhaler Patents
In their article released ahead-of-print this week, William Feldman and
coauthors analyze how brand-name manufacturers used patents in
combination with other exclusivities
granted to Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved inhalers during
the period 1986-2020 to limit generic competition.
Of the sixty-two inhalers for asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD) approved by the FDA during the past thirty-five years,
only one contained an active ingredient with a new mechanism of action.
"Manufacturers recycle the same patents on multiple inhalers from
different classes and shift old ingredients to new devices," the
authors report.
Two perspectives on the topic accompany the article.
C. Scott Hemphill and Bhaven Sampat argue that the modern system for
competition
between brand-name and generic drugs needs updating.
Robin Feldman also discusses potential reforms to inhaler patents
