First-to-File Generics - Overview
Generic manufacturers face fierce competition as soon as the patent expires for the reference innovator drug product. Therefore, the US FDA provides an incentive for the first-to-file generic drug applicants challenging patent drugs, by granting a one hundred and eighty (180)-day period of exclusivity. To be eligible for this exclusivity, the generic applicant must be the first to file a complete Abbreviate New Drug Application (ANDA) containing a paragraph IV certification to a patent listed in the Orange Book.
