Maximising Pharmaceutical Patent Life Cycles

Wednesday, June 23 to Thursday, June 24, 2010

Established among in-house and private practitioners alike as the market leading event, since 2001, thousands of life sciences patent professionals have made C5's Pharma Patent Lifecycles Extension conferences their source of information for the most up-to-date legal developments surrounding patent lifecycle extension and management.

Extending the a product’s patent lifecycle has become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry. High R&D costs and the lengthy product testing times that are required before products can enter the market make it particularly important for companies to be able to extend their product exclusivity.

Maximising protection and value from extending the life of a patent has become more and more complex as patent, competition and regulatory law continually changes. Ground-breaking case law, legislative developments and evolving regulation mean that the rules of the game for effective patent lifecycle management and extension are constantly changing.

In this fast changing high stakes industry it is imperative to have an up-to-the-minute in-depth understanding of the decisions of the European and US courts and the very latest practices in Europe and the United States, including with the European Competion Commision.

In response to this, C5 has specifically designed its Pharma Patent Lifecycle Extension Conference to provide you with a sophisticated and comprehensive understanding of the issues you face today and offers you practical solutions. It will tell you everything you need to know from initial patent filing to obtaining regulatory data exclusivity. The will bring you up to date with the latest legal developments and offers the best practical solutions to your patent lifecycle management.
