There are a number of combination product cases pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union that, when taken together, probe almost every aspect of the Regulation’s requirements for a valid SPC to be obtained. The CJEU’s judgment in the Medeva and Georgetown cases has been handed down on Thursday 24 November, the first in the series of cases referred to that court.  Following up the AIPPI event on the topic in September, Hugh Goodfellow. Partner at Carpmaels & Ransford, has agreed to host a Rapid Response, to provide the opportunity to discuss and debate the implications of this Judgment.
