Time: 4:30PM – 5:45PM
Location: Room 5A Description: The TPP negotiations, now in their fourth year, bring together the United States, Japan, and 10 other Asia Pacific economies to lower barriers to commerce, improve intellectual property rights, and expand cross-border collaboration. This session will review the negotiations and its broad-ranging implications. In particular the panel will discuss aspects of the agreement which are mission critical for the biotech industry, including changes to Intellectual Property regimes, regulatory harmonization (or the opposite) and market access issues, particularly for new and innovative therapies. Invariably this will traverse hot topics such as biosimilars, gene patenting, data protection, ever-greening and government policies which denude patents of a substantial portion of their value.
