Attorneys Alison Baldwin, Eric Friedman and Susan Sharko coauthored an article for Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) that focuses on how multidistrict litigation (MDL) can be an effective addition to the Hatch-Waxman litigation toolbox.
The authors provide an overview of Hatch-Waxman litigation, address how recent U.S. court decisions have had a seismic impact on venue selection in these cases and explain how litigants may continue to look to MDLs more often as a way to manage litigation in which multiple defendants cannot be sued in a single district.
