The FDA is required to list these patents in the Purple Book. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)—and others in the industry—can take advantage of this new source of information by using it to identify (i) potential partnerships for licensing of existing IP; (ii) targets for IPRs; or (iii) design around opportunities for the development of new technology.
