Cooley Rx series

Life Sciences Litigation: The Demise of Chevron Deference, its Impact on the Regulatory and Patent Frameworks Surrounding Hatch-Waxman, and the Rising Tide of Litigation Sure to Follow

February 13, 2025

Event summary

Cooley Rx is a virtual series focused on the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Join us as we discuss the top issues and trends in these industries – and provide decision-makers with information they can use to strengthen their organizations.

Under the Chevron doctrine, agencies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were given deference by courts in their findings and decisions. That deference is now a thing of the past and has opened the door to far more challenges to agency decisions. Those decisions impact all manner of strategic thought and planning when it comes to drug development, commercialization and market exclusivity. 

Hear from Sonia Nath, FDA insider and head of Cooley’s global life sciences and healthcare regulatory practice, and Chad Shear, a Hatch-Waxman litigator with more than 25 years of experience, as they talk through the implications and how to put your company in the best position to thrive.
