Grant of Interim Extension of the Term 

of U.S. Patent No. 4,919,140; AndaraTM

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of interim patent term 

extension. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office has issued a second 

certificate under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for 

a second one-year interim extension of 

the term of U.S. Patent No. 4,919,140.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

156 of Title 35, United States Code, 

generally provides that the term of a 

patent may be extended for a period of 

up to five years if the patent claims a 

product, or a method of making or using 

a product, that has been subject to 

certain defined regulatory review, and 

that the patent may be extended for 

interim periods of up to one year if the 

regulatory review is anticipated to 

extend beyond the expiration date of the 

patent. 

On September 11, 2009, the patent 

owner, Purdue Research Foundation, 

timely filed an application under 35 

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) for a second interim 

extension of the term of U.S. Patent No. 

4,919,140. The patent claims the 

medical device AndaraTM OFSTM

System and a method of using the 

AndaraTM OFSTM System. The 

application indicates that a 

Humanitarian Device Exemption, HDE 

070002, for the medical device 

AndaraTM OFSTM System has been filed 

and is currently undergoing regulatory 

review before the Food and Drug 

Administration for permission to market 

or use the product commercially. 

Review of the application indicates 

that except for permission to market or 

use the product commercially, the 

subject patent would be eligible for an 

extension of the patent term under 35 

U.S.C. 156, and that the patent should 

be extended for an additional one year 

as required by 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5)(B). 

Because it is apparent that the 

regulatory review period will continue 

beyond the extended expiration date of 

the patent (October 14, 2009), interim 

extension of the patent term under 35 

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) is appropriate. 

A second interim extension under 35 

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) of the term of U.S. 

Patent No. 4,919,140 is granted for a 

period of one year from the extended 

expiration date of the patent, i.e., until 

October 14, 2010. 

Dated: October 9, 2009.
