Code Scan to Clean Code: Open Source Triage Workshop

This workshop will provide a step-by-step hands-on opportunity to assess the results of a product code scan, and prepare: (i) documentation your hypothetical client needs to comply with the third party software licenses identified by the scan results, and (ii) guidance your client needs to decide whether it should remove certain features, replace third party code, try to negotiate a different license with a third party licensor, or take some other action. As part of this workshop, participants will receive materials they can use in actual remediation projects.

Instructor: Michele Herman, JusTech Law

Navigating the Intersection Between IP and Regulatory Exclusivities for Protecting and Evaluating Pharmaceutical, Biologic, and Medical Device Products

This panel will discuss why IP practitioners should become familiar with regulatory exclusivities and how this knowledge brings value to stakeholders focused on product and business development in the pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device spaces.  Regulatory and patent exclusivity drive significant value during the product development lifecycle and can be critical factors in patent prosecution strategy and in the evaluation of merger and acquisition, licensing opportunities and/or litigation.  In the commercialization of medical products, regulatory strategy is often inextricably intertwined with other business and legal topics, such as intellectual property protection and competitive intelligence. This panel will discuss, from both a regulatory and IP perspective, how alignment of strategy can help identify opportunities to leverage exclusivity windows which may be driven by both patent protection, and regulatory submissions. It is important for both private and in-house counsel practitioners (particularly those practicing in patent prosecution, patent litigation, and IP transactions) to understand both the regulatory and patent regimes that provide exclusivity protection for pharmaceutical, biologic, and medical device products to provide more value to clients engaged in product and/or business development in this space.
