CHAPTER 2PRESERVE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE GENERICS ACTSHORT TITLE

Sec. 4202. (a) In General- The Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 44 et seq.) is amended--

(1) by redesignating section 28 as section 29; and

(2) by inserting before section 29, as redesignated, the following:

‘SEC. 28. PRESERVING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE GENERICS.

‘(a) In General-

‘(1) ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING- The Federal Trade Commission may initiate a proceeding to enforce the provisions of this section against the parties to any agreement resolving or settling, on a final or interim basis, a patent infringement claim, in connection with the sale of a drug product.

‘(2) PRESUMPTION-

‘(A) IN GENERAL- Subject to subparagraph (B), in such a proceeding, an agreement shall be presumed to have anticompetitive effects and be unlawful if--

‘(i) an ANDA filer receives anything of value; and

‘(ii) the ANDA filer agrees to limit or forego research, development, manufacturing, marketing, or sales of the ANDA product for any period of time.

‘(B) EXCEPTION- The presumption in subparagraph (A) shall not apply if the parties to such agreement demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the procompetitive benefits of the agreement outweigh the anticompetitive effects of the agreement.

‘(b) Competitive Factors- In determining whether the settling parties have met their burden under subsection (a)(2)(B), the fact finder shall consider--

‘(1) the length of time remaining until the end of the life of the relevant patent, compared with the agreed upon entry date for the ANDA product;

‘(2) the value to consumers of the competition from the ANDA product allowed under the agreement;

‘(3) the form and amount of consideration received by the ANDA filer in the agreement resolving or settling the patent infringement claim;

‘(4) the revenue the ANDA filer would have received by winning the patent litigation;

‘(5) the reduction in the NDA holder’s revenues if it had lost the patent litigation;

‘(6) the time period between the date of the agreement conveying value to the ANDA filer and the date of the settlement of the patent infringement claim; and

‘(7) any other factor that the fact finder, in its discretion, deems relevant to its determination of competitive effects under this subsection.

‘(c) Limitations- In determining whether the settling parties have met their burden under subsection (a)(2)(B), the fact finder shall not presume--

‘(1) that entry would not have occurred until the expiration of the relevant patent or statutory exclusivity; or

‘(2) that the agreement’s provision for entry of the ANDA product prior to the expiration of the relevant patent or statutory exclusivity means that the agreement is pro-competitive, although such evidence may be relevant to the fact finder’s determination under this section.

‘(d) Exclusions- Nothing in this section shall prohibit a resolution or settlement of a patent infringement claim in which the consideration granted by the NDA holder to the ANDA filer as part of the resolution or settlement includes only one or more of the following:

‘(1) The right to market the ANDA product in the United States prior to the expiration of--

‘(A) any patent that is the basis for the patent infringement claim; or

‘(B) any patent right or other statutory exclusivity that would prevent the marketing of such drug.

‘(2) A payment for reasonable litigation expenses not to exceed $7,500,000.

‘(3) A covenant not to sue on any claim that the ANDA product infringes a United States patent.

‘(e) Regulations and Enforcement-

‘(1) REGULATIONS- The Federal Trade Commission may issue, in accordance withsection 553 of title 5, United States Code, regulations implementing and interpreting this section. These regulations may exempt certain types of agreements described in subsection (a) if the Commission determines such agreements will further market competition and benefit consumers.

‘(2) ENFORCEMENT- A violation of this section shall be treated as a violation of section 5.

In such a review proceeding, the findings of the Commission as to the facts, if supported by evidence, shall be conclusive.

‘(f) Antitrust Laws- Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify, impair, or supersede the applicability of the antitrust laws as defined in subsection (a) of the first section of the Clayton Act (153005.

Nothing in this section shall modify, impair, limit or supersede the right of an ANDA filer to assert claims or counterclaims against any person, under the antitrust laws or other laws relating to unfair competition.

‘(g) Penalties-

‘(1) FORFEITURE- Each person, partnership or corporation that violates or assists in the violation of this section shall forfeit and pay to the United States a civil penalty sufficient to deter violations of this section, but in no event greater than 3 times the value received by the party that is reasonably attributable to a violation of this section.

Sec. 4401. This chapter may be cited as the ‘Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2010’.

DECLARATION OF PURPOSE AND POLICY

Sec. 4402. The Congress declares that the following is the policy of the United States:

(1) Labor-management relationships and partnerships are based on trust, mutual respect, open communication, bilateral consensual problem solving, and shared accountability. Labor-management cooperation fully utilizes the strengths of both parties to best serve the interests of the public, operating as a team, to carry out the public safety mission in a quality work environment. In many public safety agencies, it is the union that provides the institutional stability as elected leaders and appointees come and go.

(2) State and local public safety officers play an essential role in the efforts of the United States to detect, prevent, and respond to terrorist attacks, and to respond to natural disasters, hazardous materials, and other mass casualty incidents. State and local public safety officers, as first responders, are a component of our Nation’s National Incident Management System, developed by the Department of Homeland Security to coordinate response to and recovery from terrorism, major natural disasters, and other major emergencies. Public safety employer-employee cooperation is essential in meeting these needs and is, therefore, in the National interest.

(3) The Federal Government needs to encourage conciliation, mediation, and voluntary arbitration to aid and encourage employers and the representatives of their employees to reach and maintain agreements concerning rates of pay, hours, and working conditions, and to make all reasonable efforts through negotiations to settle their differences by mutual agreement reached through collective bargaining or by such methods as may be provided for in any applicable agreement for the settlement of disputes.

(4) The absence of adequate cooperation between public safety employers and employees has implications for the security of employees and can affect interstate and intrastate commerce. The lack of such labor-management cooperation can detrimentally impact the upgrading of police and fire services of local communities, the health and well-being of public safety officers, and the morale of the fire and police departments. Additionally, these factors could have significant commercial repercussions. Moreover, providing minimal standards for collective bargaining negotiations in the public safety sector can prevent industrial strife between labor and management that interferes with the normal flow of commerce.

(5) Many States and localities already provide public safety officers with collective bargaining rights comparable to or greater than the rights and responsibilities set forth in this chapter, and such State and local laws should be respected.

(B) the laws or ordinances of any State or political subdivision of a State that provide for the rights and responsibilities described in section 4404(b) with respect to certain categories of public safety officers covered by this Act solely because such rights and responsibilities have not been extended to other categories of public safety officers covered by this chapter; or
