Brinckerhoff Comments on Proposed Legislation Aimed at Curbing Drug Prices

Partner Courtenay Brinckerhoff was quoted in a Law360 article, “Patent Legislation To Watch In 2020,” about a slew of pending bills aimed at curbing drug prices.

Brinckerhoff said the bills that have been proposed to date appear to need work and may not have their intended effect. “I don’t necessarily think they would achieve the intended purpose and would have a lot of unintended consequences,” she said. “Once people who understand the nitty gritty details of the patent system look at them, some of those will fall apart.”
