Master IP Strategies For Generic Medicines In Expert-Led Course - October 21, 2025 Enhance Your Practical Knowledge With Real-World Examples And Case Studies
Dublin, Oct. 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Patent Strategies for Generic Medicines and Generic Medicine Companies Training Course (Oct 21, 2025)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
In the highly competitive pharmaceutical industry, patent strategies for generic medicines are crucial for success. To successfully bring a generic medicine to market, it is necessary to navigate a complex patent landscape in order to avoid infringing existing patents.
Attending this course will give you a thorough understanding of IP strategies specifically tailored for generic medicines, equipping you with the tools to navigate the complex landscape of pharmaceutical patents and SPCs.
The course will cover how to conduct a robust Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis to identify and analyse potential patent infringement issues. Drawing on the shared experience of the expert trainers, you will learn to navigate the patent landscape and identify the risks for generic products entering the market.
Acquiring insights into identifying and managing blocking patents, with a focus on when and where to take action, you will understand whether to pursue oppositions or litigation.
It's crucial to stay updated with the most recent EPO case law, particularly on inventive step as this is the area that has proven to be most successful when challenging patent validity. This will enable you to craft strong arguments for challenging a patent and improve your patent strategy.
Understanding the legal framework surrounding Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs) in the EU and UK, will ensure you are fully aware of the specific requirements for these separate IP rights when compared to the patents they are based on. Options for challenging the validity of SPCs based on most recent case law will be explored.
The expert trainers for this course will use case studies and real-world examples to help embed the learning and enhance your practical knowledge. You will leave the course with the understanding and skills to be able to apply these strategies effectively within your own context.
