Webinar Series – Trade Secrets, Maximize Exclusivity and IP Strategies for Academia and early Biotech Companies

October 15, 2024, at 11 AM – Trade Secrets in Life Science

Welcome to this webinar series, organized by OligoNova and SciLifeLab Drug Discovery and Development, to learn more about how academic and biotech interventions can be protected with the goal to benefit patients.

This webinar is an introduction to trade secrets as a form of intellectual property, with a focus on its potential importance to a life sciences start up.

Trade secrets are often an overlooked form of intellectual property, thought by many to be of little relevance in the life sciences.  However, as part of a well-developed IP strategy, trade secrets have an increasingly important role to play, with the potential to not only supplement a patent-based strategy but, in some cases, to provide a more suitable alternative.

In this seminar, we will discuss how trade secrets can be identified, protected, and used to increase value and support investment.

November 6, 2024, at 11 AM – Maximizing Exclusivity in Life Science

Join us for an insightful seminar focusing on strategies to maximize the exclusivity of medicinal products in the marketplace.  This session will delve into the intricacies of regulatory intellectual property (IP), including patenting strategies, patent term extensions such as Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPCs), and regulatory exclusivities like data and market exclusivity. Additionally, we will explore further exclusivities available for orphan and paediatric medicines.

The seminar will emphasise the critical role of exclusivity in attracting and securing investor interest. Gain valuable knowledge on how to navigate and leverage these mechanisms to extend the market life of your medicinal products effectively, thereby enhancing their appeal to potential investors.
