Hatch-Waxman Turns 30: Do We Need a Re-Designed Approach for the Modern Era?
In 1984, Congress passed the Hatch-Waxman Act, which catalyzed the creation of the modem generic drug industry.

Some involve the deliberate manipulation of the Hatch-Waxman system, while others have arisen more unexpectedly, such as the Supreme Court's 2011 decision in Pliva v.
