SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Turning a Great Idea into a Great Business with IP: From Therapeutics to Digital Health
DESCRIPTION:Join attorneys Peter Mumford and Daniel Hudson from Potter Clarkson LLP\, for a practical discussion on the real-world experiences of two early-stage MedTech companies. They will present anonymized case studies that shed light on the complexities of managing intellectual property (IP) for young MedTech businesses. Using these real-life examples\, they will highlight the specific IP issues such companies encounter as they work towards innovation in healthcare. \nDetails on the case studies: \n– Case study one will focus on a MedTech start-up in the therapeutics space\, where Peter and Daniel will explore the challenges they faced in protecting their IP while striving to bring to market a product that will make a difference in patient care. \n– Case study two revolves around a MedTech company developing a novel medical device with a strong digital health component. Peter and Daniel will examine the unique IP considerations that arise in this context. \nThroughout these cases\, they will share practical strategies that have assisted their clients in their journey from idea conception to establishing themselves in the MedTech sector. \nBy the end of the webinar you will walk away with actionable insights that can benefit entrepreneurs\, investors\, and industry enthusiasts as they navigate the IP landscape in healthcare innovation. \nJoin us for an informative session where we delve into the challenges and solutions in the early stages of MedTech innovation.

SUMMARY:IN PERSON: Regulatory Innovation in the Life Sciences
DESCRIPTION:This event\, organised by and taking place at Charnwood Campus as part of Leicester Business Festival\, brings together expert speakers to explore how regulatory innovation in the life sciences is crucial to driving growth and expansion across the region. \nBefore any new medical product can be made available to patients\, it needs to demonstrate that it complies with the requirements set out by the relevant regulatory bodies in the territories where the product will be made available. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure\, as far as is possible\, that a product is safe to use and that it performs in the manner the manufacturer says it does. \nMeeting the requirements of the regulators is a significant undertaking and as a result dictates much of the downstream development process for healthcare technologies. The novel nature of research means that there will not always be a clearly defined regulatory pathway for novel technologies. By considering potential pathways and engaging with regulators early you can identify how your technology might fit with existing pathways and if it doesn’t fit\, it will enable you to work with the regulators to develop an appropriate pathway. Furthermore\, the external landscape Brexit and forthcoming changes in regulation\, also have additive implications developing new products. \nSo how do you go about getting the right advice and from who? We’ve got a diverse array of regulatory experts coming along to share their knowledge and be questioned by the audience with burning issues to solve. \nCLICK HERE TO BOOK YOUR PLACE\nBy attending our event\, you will: \n\nUnderstand about forthcoming changes in the regulatory environment\nHear from regulatory experts in both Pharma and Medtech\nDiscover what support the region offers\nLearn from companies who have worked innovatively with the regulators to accelerate new product development\nEngage in a panel debate on ways to improve your regulatory approach\nNetwork with likeminded businesses\n\nWe recommend this event for CEO’s\, Directors\, Managers\, and Leaders of: \n\nInnovation\nMarketing\nR & D\nProduct Development\nBusiness Development/New Business Development\n\nConfirmed Speakers  \n\nKeynote NICE developments and direction of travel\, Peter Barry\, Consultant Clinical Advisor for NICE and chair of the guideline committee\nIsabel Teare\, Senior legal adviser\, Life Sciences\, Technology\, Healthtech\, Mills & Reeve and Event Chair\nNeil Ebenezer\, Medtech and Genomics Specialist\, Department for International Trade\nVishal Thakker\, Head of UK Approved Body and Senior Regulatory Lead BSI\nTim Bubb\, Technical Director\, IMed Consultancy\nTina Amini\, TA Medtech & Combination Products Consulting\nJonathan Ripley\, Consulting Services Director\, IMed Consultancy\nBryan Lister\, Health Technology & Regulatory Consultant – Medical Devices\, InViva Healthcare Management\n\nConfirmed Exhibitors  \n\nBlum Health\nBSI\nClaric Legal Services\nClear Insurance Management\nDepartment of Business and Trade\nGuardtech Group\nIMed Consultancy\nInnovate Edge\nInventya\nInViva Healthcare Management\nLoughborough College\nMedilink Midlands\nNottingham Trent University\nPHC Europe BV\nSmallfry\nSMC\nTBAT\nWeiss Technik\n\nLife Sciences Round table 7th Nov Charnwood Campus \nBooking is now open for our round table “Why is life sciences flourishing in the region\, and what is required to accelerate the sector” \nThis event will take place at 2pm after the Regulatory Event.
