Understanding Orexo's Patent Strategies at the Upcoming Seminar on Intellectual Property

Exploring Orexo's Patent Strategies

As the pharmaceutical landscape becomes increasingly competitive, protecting intellectual property (IP) emerges as a critical factor for success. Orexo, a Swedish pharmaceutical firm, is set to present valuable insights into effective IP strategies during the seminar titled "IP That Matters - Behind Orexo's Milestone Patent Win at the US Court" at the Nordic Life Science Days in Gothenburg on October 13.

This session, scheduled from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM CEST at the Flow Stage, will gather industry leaders to discuss how innovators, biotech firms, and pharmaceutical companies can construct robust patent frameworks to defend their products from generic competitors. The initiative aims to equip attendees with the necessary tools to navigate the complex patent landscape, particularly when targeting the US market.

Orexo's Experience and Achievements

Founded three decades ago, Orexo specializes in developing advanced pharmaceuticals utilizing proprietary formulation technologies. The firm has successfully launched four medications — notably Zubsolv®, aimed at treating opioid dependence. Orexo's ventures in the US market underscore its adeptness in crafting patent strategies that have proven beneficial, even against formidable generic entities such as Actavis/Teva in 2018 and more recently, Sun Pharmaceutical Industries.

Orexo's leadership will be represented by key personnel during the seminar. Robert Rönn, SVP and Head of R&D, will discuss the importance of innovation and competitive safeguarding through solid IP management. Stephen McNeeney, a partner at Potter Clarkson LLP, will highlight the collaboration between Orexo and Potter Clarkson in building patent defenses that have positively influenced Orexo’s market presence. Lastly, John Molenda from Steptoe LLP will share insights on navigating legal challenges engaged in IP disputes.

The event aims to provide practical knowledge accumulated through current and previous patent litigation cases, offering real-life lessons essential for anyone involved in pharmaceutical development. Such insights could prepare participants for the often-inevitable challenges posed by generic entrants post product authorization in the US.

Engaging with Industry Experts

The latter part of the seminar will feature a Q&A session, inviting attendees to engage directly with the panelists. This real-time interaction aims to address specific concerns regarding patent enforcement strategies and defense measures against generics. Having experts from premier law firms ensures that participants glean comprehensive legal advice tailored towards their unique situations in the pharmaceutical industry.
