Issue
Whether the Federal Circuit"s interpretation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(e)(1)"s safe harbor from patent infringement liability for drugs " an interpretation which arbitrarily restricts the safe harbor to pre-marketing approval of generic counterparts " is faithful to statutory text that contains no such limitation and decisions of this Court rejecting similar efforts to impose extra-textual limitations on the statute.
