APPROVAL OF AN NDA OR SUPPLEMENT

.

General Information

.
.

.
.
.
.

To submit patent information to the agency the appropriate
patent declaration form must be used. Two forms are available
for patent submissions. The approval status of your New Drug
Application will determine which form you should use.
Form 3542a should be used when submitting patent information
with original NDA submissions, NDA amendments and NDA
supplements prior to approval.
Form 3542 should be used after NDA or supplement approval.
This form is to be submitted within 30 days after approval of an
application. This form should also be used to submit patent
information relating to an approved supplement under 21 CFR
314.53(d) to change the formulation, add a new indication or
other condition of use, change the strength, or to make any other
patented change regarding the drug, drug product, or any
method of use. Form 3542 is also to be used for patents issued
after drug approval. Patents issued after drug approval are
required to be submitted within 30 days of patent issuance for
the patent to be considered "timely filed."
Only information from form 3542 will be used for Orange Book
publication purposes.
Forms should be submitted as described in 21 CFR 314.53.
Sending an additional copy of form 3542 to the Orange Book
Staff will expedite patent publication in the Orange Book. The
Orange Book Staff address (as of April 2007) is: Orange Book
Staff, Office of Generic Drugs OGD/HFD-610, 7500 Standish
Place, Rockville, MD 20855.
The receipt date is the date that the patent information is date
stamped in the central document room. Patents are considered
listed on the date received.
Additional copies of these forms may be downloaded from the
Internet at: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/morechoices/fdaforms/

substance that is the subject of the approved NDA or supplement.
2.4) Name the polymorphic form of the drug identified by the
patent.
2.5) A patent for a metabolite of the approved active ingredient
may not be listed. If the patent claims an approved method
of using the approved drug product to administer the
metabolite, the patent may be listed as a method of use
patent depending on the responses to section 4 of this form.
2.7) Answer this question only if the patent is a product-byprocess patent.

3. Drug Product (Composition/Formulation)

4.2)

For each approved use of the drug claimed by the patent,

505(b)(2) and ANDA applicants in determining whether a
listed method of use patent claims a use for which the
505(b)(2) or ANDA applicant is not seeking approval. Use
