Abstract
Patents prevent generic drug entry. Brand firms file new "method of use" patents for old drugs to prevent generic entry. Congress addressed this issue by creating the "skinny label" pathway, which allows generic firms to use the drug label to indicate that the old drug can only be used for non-patented uses. This pathway is now in jeopardy due to a recent court case. This paper outlines the issues and suggests possible legislative solutions.
