WHY ATTEND
With many biologic patents set to lose exclusivity in 2023 a patent cliff is on the way. Generic, biosimilar and innovator biopharma companies are in different positions and will need to react differently to these changing market circumstances. Additionally, the face of biologics is changing with and increasing number of gene therapy and antibody-drug conjugate options adding to and sometimes taking the place of “naked antibodies”. The Global Biologics, Cell and Gene Summit is perfect place to address these changes with leading industry experts from across the IP, Regulatory and Commercial fields.
Highlights include:
- Understanding how the UPC will shape the future patent landscape for biologic products
- Discover the latest global perspective on the situation for biologics/biosimilars in Europe, US, and Asia.
- Understand the latest regulatory framework for biologic products.
- Learn the latest trends within the biologics marketplace with the commercial, regulatory and IP updates on Cell and Gene products.
