Via Neil J. Wilkof (Herzog Fox Neeman) comes news of "A Combination Problem - Scope of Protection of Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPC)". This article, penned by David Rose (partner and Head of Life Sciences at SJ Berwin LLP) is an earlier version of a piece which appeared in Scrip Pharma Law.
This three-page article, which you can access here, summarises the focal points of the four England and Wales SPC cases which have been referred for preliminary rulings by the Court of Justice of the European Union, emphasises their importance in defining the balance between the two sides of the pharma industry and doubts that the outstanding questions will be resolved in the course of this calendar year.
It's a shame this article missed the fifth reference (see blog entry below). The Queensland reference seems to be the most comprehensive.
