Section 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 one year if the regulatory review is anticipated to extend beyond the expiration date of the patent. On May 9, 2017, Scripps Research Institute, the patent owner of record, timely filed an application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a second interim extension of the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,912,231. The patent claims a composition of the active ingredient pexiganan of the human drug product LOCILEX®. The application for patent term extension indicates that New Drug Application (NDA) 29–930 was submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 24, 1998. Review of the patent term extension application indicates that, except for permission to market or 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 the regulatory review period will continue beyond the extended expiration date of the patent, June 15, 2017, 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. 5,912,231 is granted for a period of one year from the extended expiration date of the patent.

5,912,231; LOCILEX[supreg] (pexiganan)

AGENCY: United States Patent and Trademark Office, Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of Interim patent term extension.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued an 
order granting interim extension for a one-year interim extension of 
the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,912,231.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary C. Till by telephone at (571) 
272-7755; by mail marked to her attention and addressed to the 
Commissioner for Patents, Mail Stop Hatch-Waxman PTE, P.O. Box 1450,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 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 one year if the regulatory review is anticipated to 
extend beyond the expiration date of the patent.
    On May 9, 2017, Scripps Research Institute, the patent owner of 
record, timely filed an application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a 
second interim extension of the term of U.S. Patent No. 5,912,231. The 
patent claims a composition of the active ingredient pexiganan of the 
human drug product LOCILEX[supreg]. The application for patent term 
extension indicates that New Drug Application (NDA) 29-930 was 
submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on July 24, 1998.
    Review of the patent term extension application indicates that, 
except for permission to market or 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 the regulatory 
review period will continue beyond the extended expiration date of the 
patent, June 15, 2017, 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. 5,912,231 is granted for a period of one year from the 
extended expiration date of the patent.

    Dated: May 22, 2017.

Deputy Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy, United States Patent 
and Trademark Office.
