IMPORTANT NOTICE

After careful consideration, we have decided to remove from the calendar C5’s Pharmaceutical Patent Term Extensions originally scheduled for June 16 – 17, 2020 this year.

We apologize for the inconvenience but know that this will give us the time we need to make a fantastic event in 2021.
