UNION-IP
The next UNION-IP event is the spring dinner meeting on Tuesday 28th March.  You can see the flier here, but in brief:

UNION-IP is delighted to announce that Ravi Srinivasan (JA Kemp) and Juergen Dressel (Novartis) will be speaking at their spring dinner meeting on Tuesday 28 March 2017.  The topic of the evening will be one of the major live topics in Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals IP: the issue of Second Medical Use Patents.  Following interventions from the EPO and the high profile Lyrica litigation in the last couple of years, and amidst concerns from many observers about the state of the current law, Ravi and Juergen will be able to present both legal and commercial views on where this topic may lead us next.
