−Removed: that a patent covering the reference listed drug is either invalid or will not be infringed by the generic product, in which case the

−Removed: If the patent owner
−Removed: brings a patent infringement lawsuit against the ANDA applicant within 45 days of the Paragraph IV Notification, FDA approval of the ANDA
