Event Synopsis:

The relentless transformation of generic competition seems to pose a threat for pharma and biotech lifecycles. With its growing complexity, companies with poor product lifecycle management strategies are more likely to be exposed to legal challenges and revenue risks. Thus, it is crucial for companies to establish and maintain a robust life cycle management strategy to minimize possible loss and liabilities.

In a two-hour live Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders, professionals and regulators assembled by The Knowledge Group will help the audience understand the most significant issues with respect to portfolio strategies in pharmaceutical and biotechnology patent lifecycle management and development. The panel will also share their expertise and insights on how to best maintain an effective and efficient patent portfolio in biotech and pharma lifecycle.

Key topics include:

− Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Patent Life Cycles – An Overview
− Patent Term Adjustments for Biotech and Pharma
− Role of PTA in Biotech and Pharma Patent Life Cycle
− Patent Term Extensions
− Patentability and Implications for Life Sciences Innovation
− Portfolio Strategies
− Common Risks and Pitfalls
− Up-to-the-minute Regulatory Updates
