Grant of Interim Extension of the Term
of U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787; Sanvar
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Commerce.
ACTION: Notice of interim patent term
extension.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The United States Patent and
Trademark Office has issued a
certificate under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for
a third one-year interim extension of the
term of U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787.
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, Alexandria, VA 22313–

(571) 273–7755, or by e-mail to
Mary.Till@uspto.gov.
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 a year if the
regulatory review is anticipated to
extend beyond the expiration date of the
patent.
On March 23, 2007, Debiovision Inc.,
the exclusive agent of Debiopharm S.A.
and Debio Recherche Pharmaceutique
S.A., who is the exclusive licensee of
the Administrators of the Tulane
Educational Fund of New Orleans,
Louisiana, the patent owner, timely
filed an application under 35 U.S.C.
156(d)(5) for a third interim extension of
the term of U.S. Patent No. 4,650,787.
The patent claims the human drug
product Sanvar (vapreotide acetate).
The application indicates that a New
Drug Application for the human drug
product Sanvar (vapreotide acetate)
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
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 an additional one year
as required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
17877
Because it is apparent that the
regulatory review period will continue
beyond the extended expiration date of
the patent (April 25, 2007), a third
interim extension of the patent term
under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is appropriate.
A third interim extension under 35
U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of U.S.
Patent No. 4,650,787 is granted for a
period of one year from the extended
expiration date of the patent, i.e., until
April 25, 2008.
Dated: April 3, 2007.

Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Summary of Information Collection
The Federal Medical Recovery Act, 42
U.S.C. 2651–2653 as implemented by
Executive Order No. 11060 and 28 CFR
part 43 provides for recovery of the
reasonable value of medical care
provided by the United States to a
person who is injured or suffers a
disease under circumstances creating
tort liability in some third person. DD
Form 2527 is required for investigating
and asserting claims in favor of the
United States arising out of such
incidents.
When a claim for CHAMPUS benefits
is identified as involving possible third
party liability and the information is not
submitted with the claim, the TRICARE/
CHAMPUS contractor requests that the
injured party (or a designee) complete
DD Form 2527. To protect the interests
of the Government, the contractor
suspends claims processing until the
requested third party liability
information is received. The contractor
conducts a preliminary evaluation based
upon the collection of information and
refers the case to a designated
appropriate legal officer of the
Uniformed Services. The responsible
Uniformed Services legal officer uses
the information as a basis for asserting
and settling the Government’s claim.
When appropriate, the information is
forwarded to the Department of Justice
as the basis for litigation.
Section 1 of the Form is used to
collect general information, such as
name, address and telephone numbers
about the military sponsor and the
injured beneficiary and the date, time
and location where the injured
occurred.
Section 2 of the Form is used to
collect information about accidental
injuries. Most of the investigations for
third party liability involve motor
vehicle accidents. Information about
insurance coverage for the parties
involved in the accident is collected.
Section 2 of the Form is also used to
collect information about accidents that
do not involve motor vehicles.
Information such as the type of

accident, the place where the injury
occurred, the name of the property
owner where the injury occurred and
cause of the injury is collected. The
name and address of the employer is
collected when the injury was work
related.
Section 3 of the Form is used for
miscellaneous information such as
possible medical treatment at a
Government hospital, the name and
address of the beneficiary’s attorney,
and information regarding any possible
releases or settlements with another
party to the accident. It also contains the
certification, date and signature of the
beneficiary (or a designee).
