VerDate Aug<31>2005

Grant of Interim Extension of the Term

of U.S. Patent No. 4,971,802;

MIFAMURTIDE

156 of Title 35, United States Code,

generally provides that the term of a

patent may be extended for a period of

up to five years if the patent claims a

product, or a method of making or using

a product, that has been subject to

certain defined regulatory review, and

that the patent may be extended for

interim periods of up to a year if the

regulatory review is anticipated to

extend beyond the expiration date of the

patent.

On August 8, 2007, IDM Pharma,

agent/licensee of patent owner Novartis,

timely filed an application under 35

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for an interim extension

of the term of U.S. Patent No. 4,971,802.

Claims of the patent cover the product

Mifamurtide having the active

ingredient muramyl tripeptide

phosphatidyl ethanolamine. The

application indicates, and the Food and

Drug Administration has confirmed,

that a New Drug Application for the

human drug product Mifamurtide has

been filed and is currently undergoing

regulatory review before the Food and

Drug Administration for permission to

market or use the product commercially.

Review of the application indicates

that, except for permission to market or

PO 00000

Frm 00019

use the product commercially, the

subject patent would be eligible for an

extension of the patent term under 35

U.S.C. 156, and that the patent should

be extended for one year as required by

35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). Because it is

apparent that the regulatory review

period will continue beyond the

expiration date of the patent (November

20, 2007), interim extension of the

patent term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is

appropriate.

An interim extension under 35 U.S.C.

156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. Patent No.

4,971,802 is granted for a period of one

year from the expiration date of the

patent, i.e., until November 20, 2008.

Dated: October 4, 2007.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual

Property and Director of the United States

Patent and Trademark Office.

commerce if: (a) They receive gas at or

within the boundaries of the state from

another person; (b) such gas is

transported, sold, consumed within

such state; (c) the rates, service and

facilities of such company are subject to

regulation by a State Commission.
