The speech will cover:
Innovative biotech and pharmaceutical companies are always faced with a balancing act between filing a patent application as early as possible and still being inventive when they apply to the European Patent Office (EPO) for patent protection for medical products or processes. But what needs to be considered in order to overcome the hurdles of filing as early as possible and the requirement of plausibility and inventive step at the EPO?
