Also great if you just like to have a book to page through!
What's the Orange Book Companion Two-Volume
Book Set?
The Orange Book Companion
two-volume book set is an 800+ page reference containing highly
enhanced patent and exclusivity information for FDA-approved drugs. It
combines data from six
different sources, so you do not need to look at each source
individually to get the full picture for a product.
The Orange Book Companion two-volume book set has the following features or information:
- four separate lists of approved
drugs, each sorted differently:
- 1) by tradename,
- 2) by generic
name,
- 3) by NDA applicant name, and
- 4) chronologically by the
next-to-expire patent for each product.
- the title of each patent is listed
- the type of subject matter covered
by each patent is listed (e.g., compound, composition, use, etc. We
found nineteen different types!)
- extended patents are highlighted
for easy identification, so you can see which patent the drug owner
regards as the most relevant for their product. The length of the
extension for each patent is also shown.
- FDA's "Established
Pharmaceutical Class" is provided for all products that have been
assigned them.
- products that have a generic
equivalent or have non-equivalent (but very similar) generic
competition are identified with a "generic tag."
- up to eleven monthly updates for
the Tradename list are provided to purchasers via email, so each year's
edition stays up to date. See below for more
details.
- each list is formated into
easy-to-read tables. Download our samples to
see what they look like.
- includes the full exclusivity and
use code descriptions, so you do not have to look them up in a separate
list
- the NDA Applicant's name is
included for each product
- the strength (mg, mg/ml, etc.) for
each variation of a product is listed, so that you can immediately see
how Product 001 differs from Product 002, etc.
- the Companion
has less duplication, since the different variations (strengths) of
a product are combined together in a single table when the patent and
exclusivity information for all of the variations is identical
- each variation of a product is
identified as being prescription (RX), other-the-counter (OTC), or
discontinued (DISC)
- pediatric extensions of
exclusivity are rolled into the listing for the actual exclusivity that
was extended. So there is no more need to do a mental subtraction of
six months from "PED" expiration dates to discover which exclusivity
the pediatric extension applies to.

Free Updates Each
Month!
The Orange Book Companion two-volume book set will not get out of date as the months go by.
Each month, for the remainder of the Orange Book fiscal year for the
edition that was purchased (generally February through January), every
purchaser will receive an update to the Trademarks list in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format for easy printing via email. This update will have two parts:
- the first will
show the changes from the previous month;
- the second will show all
the changes since the publication of that edition of the Orange
Book Companion two-volume book
set.
Customers
who make their purchase after the beginning of an Orange Book year will
receive via email all the month-to-month updates that were published up
to that point in addition to the latest cumulative update. They will
then routinely be sent the monthly updates.
We hope to open
ordering soon! You can then try it risk-free* for 30 days!
* If
the Orange Book Companion two-volume
book set does not meet your needs,
return it within 30 days and receive a refund of your purchase price.
