[sponsored] Orange Book Companion® Adds New Features and Capabilities

Historical patent and exclusivity data for FDA-approved drugs now available

Hillsborough, New Jersey – September 5, 2018 – Bruce Pokras’ Blazing Dawn Software is thrilled to now add historical patent and exclusivity data to their lead product, the Orange Book Companion® (“OBC”), in a new section called the “Orange Book Archive.” This new section provides easy access to historical patent and exclusivity data for FDA-approved drugs.

Subscribers to the OBC online service see easy to read tables that, in addition to patent numbers and expiration dates for a drug, contain patent titles, descriptions of the claims, and include hyperlinks directly to the patents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. These and many other enhancements distinguish the OBC  from the FDA’s free Electronic Orange Book. 

The new “Orange Book Archive” section of the OBC contains expired patent and exclusivity data going back to the earliest days of the so-called “Hatch-Waxman” Act in 1984. That data is formatted in the same easy to read and use tables in which the OBC displays present-day data.

“There have been many instances when I have been asked about the patents and exclusivities that were formerly listed in the FDA’s Orange Book for a drug,” said Bruce Pokras, Founder and Creator of Blazing Dawn Software and the Orange Book Companion, “the Orange Book Archive section of the OBC is an easy way to answer that need.” 

Orange Book Companion subscription information can be found at the product web site, www.orangebookcompanion.com. Currently, subscriptions are available for the OBC online service, as well as in the form of twelve monthly flash drives mailed to the subscriber.
