The session will provide a comprehensive strategic focus on up-to-date regulatory and IP matters including;

1) Regulatory Strategy

  • Engaging with regulators early in development to enhance the probability of regulatory success
  • Incentives offering short term financial gains and long term impact e.g. orphan drug designation; EMA's PRIME scheme and UK's Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP including the Innovation Passport) for priority medicines; the UK's Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS) including the Promising Innovative Medicine (PIM) designation.

 

2) Intellectual Property

  • An introduction to the supplementary protection certificate system for extending patent protection for pharmaceutical inventions
  • Tips to make sure your portfolio is in good shape for securing SPCs. Regulatory approval is a lengthy process and often, by the time a pharmaceutical product is approved, the patent which covers it will be well into its 20-year term. Will it be possible to extend your patent, when the time comes? Is your portfolio SPC-ready? Several things can be done whilst your patent portfolio is at an early stage that can maximise your chances of securing an SPC.
