Current as of October 02, 2022 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(a) As provided in 37 CFR 1.779 of PTO's regulations, in order to determine a product's regulatory review period, APHIS will review the information in each application to determine the lengths of the following phases of the review period, and will then find their sum:

(1) The number of days in the period beginning on the date authorization to prepare an experimental biological product under the Virus–Serum–Toxin Act became effective and ending on the date an application for a license was initially submitted under the Virus–Serum–Toxin Act;  and

(2) The number of days in the period beginning on the date an application for a license was initially submitted for approval under the Virus–Serum–Toxin Act and ending on the date such license was issued.

(b) A license application is “initially submitted” on the date it contains sufficient information to allow APHIS to commence review of the application. A product license is issued on the date of the APHIS letter informing the applicant of the issuance. The issuance of a license releases the product for commercial marketing or use.
