How a Global Biotech Patent Dispute Attorney Protects IP
Patent claims are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal district courts under 28 U.S.C. § 1338(a), with appeal to the Federal Circuit. For a biologic, the pre-suit sequence is set by statute: the information exchange under 42 U.S.C. § 262(l) governs which patents may be asserted and when, and a party that departs from it loses the ability to seek an injunction on the omitted patents. A small-molecule dispute runs on the Hatch-Waxman timetable instead.

Foreign sales are largely outside the US remedy. Damages generally do not reach sales abroad, with § 271(f) as the exception, under which the Supreme Court in WesternGeco v.
