IP/LEGAL &
REGULATORY ISSUES

Conference Date: 16 Oct 2008
Conference Ref: A10-4208
Fee: £540 + VAT
Venue: The Rembrandt Hotel, London

It is often difficult for those involved in marketing generic medicines to understand the complicated legal and regulatory environment in which they operate. Similarly, regulatory people themselves are often unsure how the legal and Intellectual Property framework can influence their own work.

 The aim of this seminar is to shed some light on the legal background to the generic industry and to provide an understanding of how it affects all parts of the industry. Misunderstanding the various factors that influence the time and speed of registration can lead to regulatory delays with a knock-on effect on launch dates for new products. This can in turn lead to undesirable delays, which might have an impact on a company’s competitive position.
