IIPRD Webinar 12 June 2020

About the Webinar

With Patents becoming a core part of the existing economic ecosystem, particularly for Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Chemical, and Drug Industries; creation and exploitation of Patent Portfolios has become an industry in itself; especially with the cost of development and protection of the portfolio being enormous. Thus, besides understanding of Patent Laws and Practices prevalent in India, it is imperative to understand practices in economically and financially important geographies such as in Europe.
Khurana and Khurana (K&K, India) and J A Kemp (EP) will be holding a Joint Webinar to demystify various aspects of patent protection strategies in EP/UK, including practices that Applicants' may adopt for comprehensive protection and prosecution of EP/UK Patent Applications. Aspects that would be covered in the webinar include:

• Key pointers to be kept in mind while responding to EP Office Actions in the Pharmaceutical domain.
• Aspects to be kept in mind while amending claims, adding new claim limitations in view of prosecution estoppel and third party observations
• Specific pointers to be kept in context while assessing Freedom to Operate (FTO) for Pharmaceutical Formulations and Compositions.
• Best practices while defending oppositions against new-form compound patents.
