TACKLING HOT TOPICS IDENTIFIED BY FOCUSED INDUSTRY RESEARCH

1.  The increasingly regulatory burden.  5 member state regulators - France, UK, Belgium, The Netherlands and Slovenia - provide the sound regulatory advice you need to confidently develop post-patent strategies.  Hear a short overview from each speaker on key topics including; national opinions and priorities for off patent product registration, mutual recognition, re-registrations, data protection and formulations, then utilise the panel session to seek clarification on the questions that will help solve your day-to-day challenges.

2.  A new session on the essentials of EU agrochemical law.  Specifically tailored for non-lawyers, this invaluable session will provide you with clear explanations on competition and IP law, describe its application and tackle the wider, real-life business implications affecting your organisation

A FINAL FOCUS ON PARALLEL TRADE UNCERTAINTY

Uncertainties around parallel trade provisions - criteria for applications, national attitudes on common origin and enforcement/control mechanisms – form the focus for our final sessions.  No less than 6 national regulators - France, UK, Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands and Slovenia will be on hand to outline national opinions, procedures and processes for parallel trade.  Once again, an extended Q&A session has been arranged giving you the unique opportunity to ask questions and hear answers on the issues that matter to you most from the mouths of the regulators!
