Annual Life Sciences Conference
20 Sep 2024 | Newsletter
Back in June, the French AIPPI group along with LES France and ASPI (Association Française des Spécialistes en Propriété Industrielle de l’Industrie) held its annual day of discussion around IP protection for Life Sciences.
ASPI Vice President Alain Werner kicked off the day before the following panel discussions took place:
- Plant Patenting in Europe – What’s happening at the European Parliament?
- Latest Developments regarding Supplementary Protection Certificates and Patent Term Extensions in Major Jurisdictions
- How does AI impact IP Strategies of Life Sciences Companies?
- UPC & National Case Law Review in the Life Sciences
Other topics included Claim interpretation, SPC Manufacturing Waiver, Preliminary injunctions, Dawn raids, seizures and order for the preservation of evidence, international and UPC internal jurisdiction.
As usual, while the topics were highly technical, the atmosphere was collegial, and we made sure to have time at the end to gather around a warm cocktail reception.
