Two quick questions

The SPC Blog has received two questions from readers. Can you help them?

1. "Are the travaux préparatoires for the SPC Regulation available online -- I've tried finding them on the European Commission's website but have had no luck so far".

2. "Does anyone know whether patent extensions were ever considered for medical devices? And why were they not included within the SPC provisions?"

If you have anything to offer, can you please post your information as a Comment below.
