The AAM has unveiled its policy priorities for sustainable access to generics and biosimilars for the newly elected US president Joe Biden’s administration and the 117th Congress. The association has also launched a new advocacy campaign called “Secure Our Meds,” kicking off with a report on “Securing Sustainable Markets.”

The AAM has insisted that the US Supreme Court should uphold the inter partes review framework, in an amicus brief filed as part of litigation that potentially threatens hundreds of IPR decisions.

The AAM has backed the draft Protecting Access to Affordable Medicines Act of 2020 introduced by the US House of Representatives members GK Butterfield, Billy Long and Tony Cardenas and has urged House members to co-sponsor the bill, which aims to protect low-cost generic medicines from a “misguided” Medicaid penalty.
