A joint conference organised by UCL Laws with the University of Washington School of Law. This conference will take place in Seattle, USA, and is hosted by the University of Washington Seattle and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
About the conference
The conference will address various proposals and issues for promoting additional protection for new uses and new dosage regimens of old drugs. These additional protections may encourage the development of such new uses and regimes and ensure the ability to recoup the high costs to develop, manufacture and seek approval of them. However, some are concerned that they may also have a negative impact on global health and access to medicine in developing and emerging market economies because they argue that they extend protections for pharmaceutical compounds and their uses after the original new chemical entity patent has expired.
