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 September 11, 2009, the patent
owner, Purdue Research Foundation,
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.
4,919,140. The patent claims the
medical device AndaraTM OFSTM
System and a method of using the
AndaraTM OFSTM System. The
application indicates that a
Humanitarian Device Exemption, HDE
070002, for the medical device
AndaraTM OFSTM System 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).
Because it is apparent that the
regulatory review period will continue
beyond the extended expiration date of
the patent (October 14, 2009), interim
extension of the patent term under 35
U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is appropriate.
A second interim extension under 35
U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of U.S.
Patent No. 4,919,140 is granted for a
period of one year from the extended
expiration date of the patent, i.e., until
October 14, 2010.
Dated: October 9, 2009.
