Generics, Supergenerics and Patent Strategies

 

SAE Media Group Introduce their 15th Annual Generics, Supergenerics and Patent Strategies Conference:

The pharmaceutical generics industry is a fast moving and consistently expanding one. With the much referenced patent cliff rapidly approaching for many and already passed for some all businesses are looking to generics for a source of additional revenue.

For the big Parma companies these generics ventures are interesting diversification opportunities to add to their portfolio. For the generics companies themselves there is an opportunity to partner up with these industry heavyweights and perhaps make the most of the partnerships to launch new branded generics which may have the potential to become best sellers in their own right.

Along with the opportunities generics offer there is also a minefield of IP and patent issues along with regional regulations and marketplace differences to contend with before you can get your products to market.

SAE Media Group's conference will provide you with an excellent overview of the industry at the moment. You will hear case studies from the big players in the market showing how they have handled issues and how they see the industry moving forward. We will also be covering some of the current regulatory issues and also the big Parma perspective of their movements in the generic field.

Key Reasons to Attend:

Hear from expert speakers on the current state of the Generics markets.
Discuss strategies for making the best use of branded and super-generics.
Analyse the recent trend of Big Pharma moving into the Generics field.
Learn about recent Generics case law and how the outcomes affect your business.
Network
with senior representatives and key decision makers within Generics.

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
