Is Sovereign Immunity against Patent Challenges for Rent?Ashton Delauney (Bristol-Myers Squibb Company)
8:30 – 9:00 am
ABSTRACT
Allergan markets Restasis®, a blockbuster drug that increases the eyes’ natural ability to produce
tears, for the treatment of Chronic Dry Eye. In 2017, the drug, protected by patents expiring in 2024,
generated $1.4 billion in U.S. sales. In 2015 and 2016, Allergan sued several generic companies,
alleging that their proposed generic versions of Restasis® would infringe its patents. In 2016, some
of these generic companies challenged the validity of the Restasis® patents in an inter partes review
(IPR). A year later, Allergan announced that it had “sold” its Restasis® patents to Saint Regis Mohawk
Tribe, with the Tribe exclusively licensing back commercial rights to Allergan. Once it had acquired
the Restasis® patents in this transaction, the Tribe sought to terminate the ongoing IPR challenge to
the patents based on its status as a sovereign tribal government. Experts weighed in on both sides:
many in the pharma industry as well as patent law practitioners viewed Allergan’s deal with the Tribe
as a sham transaction in which Allergan was attempting to rent tribal sovereignty to improperly
shield patents from invalidity challenges, but others saw it as well within Allergan’s rights to sell its
patents as private property and legitimately benefit from sovereign immunity. We shall examine
how the Patent Office, district court and patent appeals court responded to this novel attempt to
use sovereign immunity in patent law.

Expanding Structure Search Capabilities in PatentsKeith Schreiber (Pfizer)
10:40 – 11:10 am
ABSTRACT
Evaluation of Freedom to Operate or Invalidity in the small chemical space can hang on the
successful discovery of a specific molecule in a patent publication. Innovative tools push the
boundaries of structure searching in patents, with expanded coverage and capabilities that enable
new ways to find and process chemical information. This talk with explore those capabilities, looking
to their ongoing development as well as suggesting use cases.

AIM™ Patent Landscapes – More Than “A State of the Art” Patent SearchYateen Pargaonkar (Riser IP LLC)
1:45 – 2:15 pm
ABSTRACT
Patent landscape efforts can get hampered either by voluminous patent search results or the
perceived need to manually tag every single feature. It can raise uncertainty, costs, timelines, and
complexity. The final report can vary depending on the allocated time and the optimal usage of
advanced patent analytics tools by professional patent analysts (or by end-users). On the other side
of spectrum, many “state of the art” reports only provide patent search results with minimal analysis
or visuals. This presentation highlights the use of a cost-effective accelerated, intentional, and
multifaceted (AIMTM) patent landscape. The goal of an AIMTM patent landscape is to intentionally
align scope with pending decisions and deliver the results within an accelerated 1-2 weeks’ timeline.
A quick patent landscape search does not have to equate with low quality search. AIMTM patent
landscapes are ideal in quicker patent portfolio bench-marking efforts and delineating white space
opportunities for well-defined projects.

More Effective Reporting of Changes in Patent Families from Multi-Database SearchesVictoria Smith (Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research, Inc.)
2:15 – 2:40 pm
ABSTRACT
Our job, as patent search professionals, is to wade through voluminous patent and non-patent
literature in order to provide our clients with valuable information. While understanding database
content and indexing policies are important pieces to a successful search, equally important is the
way in which we communicate our search results. This presentation will describe the results of a
collaborative effort to develop easier identification and presentation of changes in patent families in
BizInt Smart Charts for Patents updated reports – with a focus on reporting patent family changes
across multiple databases. We will highlight some of the pain points and inefficiencies in reviewing
and writing update search reports, specifically addressing the challenges of effectively reporting
changes in patent families over time. The goal is to be able to clearly identify new families, families
with new publications or legal status changes, and those families which have not changed since the
last update.
BIOGRAPHY
Victoria Smith received her PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Notre Dame in 2016.
While at the university, she worked in the areas of immunology, cancer biology, and infectious
diseases. During her time in the lab, Victoria began to transition her career interests to intellectual

Applications of Using Entity Size as an Indicia of Licensing for University PatentsSteven Andrzejewski (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation)
3:15 – 3:45 pm
ABSTRACT
Building off of Arleen Malley Zank’s 2015 PIUG NE Conference presentation “Patent Data, Evidence-
Based IP Policy Making, and the Importance of Analytics”, this presentation will explore applications
of using US patent entity size and fee payments as indicators of licensing activity for universities,
research institutes, and SMEs. This tool will be used for examining international filing strategies
for university inventions with and without large-entity licensees. Other applications will include
industry-specific licensing outcomes and methods to find non-patent sources that corroborate
entity-size determinations..

Patent and Non-patent Literature as a Matchmaking Tool for Technology Transfer from Academia to IndustryPatrick Griffis (University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries)
3:45 – 4:10 pm
ABSTRACT
Patent literature and non-patent literature can be an effective tool for technology commercialization
matchmaking between university technology transfer offices and companies. University technology
transfer offices can conduct a patent landscape analysis to identify potential industry partners who
can license university research for technology commercialization. Likewise, companies can conduct
technology scouting using non-patent literature to identify technology disclosures from university
research that can be appropriate to license for commercialization. This presentation will outline best
practices and resources for university licensors to utilize patent literature in identifying potential
company licensees as well as best practices for company licensees to utilize non-patent literature in
identifying potential university licensors. Real world examples will be highlighted in demonstrating
best practices and resources for using patent and non-patent literature to identify potential
academia and industry technology commercialization partnerships. The use of academic and public
libraries for analyzing patent and non-patent literature will also be highlighted.
BIOGRAPHY
Patrick Griffis has worked as the Business Librarian for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries

Professional Development at a Triple Point: Technology, Information Retrieval, and Patent LawDavid S. Saari (ScienceIP)
4:50 – 5:15 pm
ABSTRACT
Patent information searchers need a unique combination of three specific skills: science or
technology, information retrieval, and patent law. People skills, like communication skills or customer
focus, are equally important. Professional development must include all of these skill areas. This
discussion will focus on the minimum requirements for the “patent law” skill set and whether there
are advantages to having more than the minimum requirements.

“Timely training on currentTECHNIQUES and TOOLS”
“My first PIUG annual meeting and overall it was a great experience. As a first time attendee and speaker, I was initially intimidated, but so many of the “regulars” were open and welcoming, it was actually less stressful than I expected. The first timer’s meeting was a blast, due in part to the great volunteers. I’m looking forward to attending next year now that I
know better what to expect”
“Well done! Smoothly run andinformative content and exhibits”
“It is a great opportunity to talk with peers,get new ideas and be reminded of the essentials.I thoroughly enjoy the conference.”
