One of the most common questions I get is about which symbol to use. Here is a handy cheat sheet I made: ® – a.k.a “circle-R” – Registered trademark with the USPTO. TM – Unregistered mark, used with products and tangle items. SM – Unregistered service mark, used with services. © – Beginning of copyright notice (along with year of creating and author — see lower right corned of the above graphic for example); not necessarily registered with the Libr

Introduction. The biosimilar pathway was designed to increase competition for biologics and reduce healthcare costs. Yet 2020 saw a slowdown in biosimilar activity with the lowest number of annual biosimilar approvals since 2016 and fewer product launches than 2019—as well as a decrease in district court litigation and post-grant proceedings.
