Established among in-house and private practitioners alike as the market leading event, since 2001, thousands of life sciences patent professionals have made C5`s Pharma Patent Lifecycles Extension conferences their source of information for the most up-to-date legal developments surrounding patent lifecycle extension and management.
Extending the a product s patent lifecycle has become increasingly important in the pharmaceutical industry. High R&D costs and the lengthy product testing times that are required before products can enter the market make it particularly important for companies to be able to extend their product exclusivity.

Ground-breaking case law, legislative developments and evolving regulation mean that the rules of the game for effective patent lifecycle management and extension are constantly changing.
