BILLING CODE 3510–22–P 

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Patent and Trademark Office 

[Docket No. PTO–P–2021–0052] 

Grant of Interim Extension of the Term 

of U.S. Patent No. 7,199,162; 

GRAFAPEXTM (Treosulfan) 

AGENCY: United States Patent and 

Trademark Office, Department of 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of interim patent term 

extension. 

SUMMARY: The United States Patent and 

Trademark Office has issued an order 

granting a one-year interim extension of 

the term of U.S. Patent No. 7,199,162 

(‘162 patent). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Raul 

Tamayo, Senior Legal Advisor, Office of 

Patent Legal Administration, at 571– 

272–7728 or raul.tamayo@uspto.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 35 U.S.C. 

156 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. 35 

U.S.C. 156(d)(5) generally provides that 

the term of such a patent may be 

extended for no more than five interim 

periods of up to one year each, if the 

approval phase of the regulatory review 

period (RRP) is reasonably expected to 

extend beyond the expiration date of the 

patent. 

On August 28, 2023, Medac 

Gesellschaft fuer Klinische 

Spezialpraparate mbH, the owner of 

record of the ‘162 patent, timely filed an 

application under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) 

for a third interim extension of the term 

of the ‘162 patent. The ‘162 patent 

claims a method of using the human 

drug product known by the tradename 

GRAFAPEXTM (treosulfan). The 

application for interim patent term 

extension indicates that a RRP as 

described in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B)(ii) 

began for GRAFAPEXTM (treosulfan) 

and is ongoing before the Food and Drug 

Administration for permission to market 

and use the product commercially. 

Review of the interim patent term 

extension application indicated that, 

except for permission to market or use 

the product commercially, the ‘162 

patent would be eligible for an 

extension of the patent term under 35 

U.S.C. 156. Because it was apparent that 

the RRP would continue beyond the 

twice-extended expiration date of the 

‘162 patent, i.e., October 12, 2023, a 

third interim extension of the patent 

term under 35 U.S.C. 156(d)(5) was 

appropriate.
