How many additional years of patent protection for innovator drugs are granted under the Hatch-Waxman Amendment?

  1. 3 years

  2. 5 years

  3. 7 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 3 years

The Hatch-Waxman Amendment grants an additional 3 years of patent protection for innovator drugs beyond the original patent term. This is to incentivize pharmaceutical companies to invest in costly research and development for new drugs. Options B, C, and D may seem like plausible choices, but they are incorrect because they provide a longer period of patent protection than what the Hatch-Waxman Amendment allows. This is why option A is the correct answer.
