The bill would
  *   Define product hopping in the Federal Trade Commission Act and establish a statutory framework for the
      Federal Trade Commission's (FTC's) litigation authority against manufacturers that engage in such practices
  *  Allow FTC to impose civil penalties and seek other appropriate relief in district court from parties that
     violate antitrust law in this area
  *   Limit the number of patents that can be litigated under some provisions of the Biologics Price Competition
     and Innovation Act of 2009
  *   Impose a private sector mandate by limiting the number of patents that may be asserted in infringement
     claims for a small number of biological products


Estimated budgetary effects would stem from
  *   Generic or biosimilar drugs entering the market earlier, on average, than would be the case under current
      law, resulting in lower federal spending for prescription drugs and subsidies for health insurance
