In recent years, China has taken many powerful reform measures to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, create a protective environment for innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of generic drug companies, balance innovation, competition and prescription drug affordability. According to the “Opinions on Strengthening the Protection of Intellectual Property” Promotion Plan” released by CNIPA on April 20. The Promotion Plan specifically references and appears to be a further implementation of the CPC/State Council Opinion on Strengthening the Protection of Intellectual Property, released in November 2019. It clearly mentioned the establishment of the drug patent linkage system (pre-market notification system) and the patent term compensation system by this Oct 2020.

As the second largest pharmaceutical industry in the world and China continue to widen the door for foreign drugmakers to get market access. Meanwhile, Domestic players are also stepping up their activities in overseas country. In this process, it is particularly important for foreign and domestics players to navigate the changing pharma IP and regulatory landscape in China and the rest of the word.

5th China Pharma IP Summit 2020 will once again bring together leading in-house IP counsel, patent prosecutors and litigators, government officials and policy experts from around the world who will share their insights on the latest IP strategies for thriving at a time when regulatory and IP landscape changes are significantly impacting your business models.
