Pharmaceutical Brand Names: Navigating the PTO/FDA Rapids
The program will explore how pharmaceutical brand names were historically and are currently examined by the trademark offices in the US and internationally and how their criteria differ in important ways from those of the FDA, EMA, and other regulatory authorities who must also approve pharmaceutical brand names. We will discuss strategies for managing these different approaches and present a mock case study with audience participation to more fully explore the optimal practices for securing regulatory approval and legal protection for pharmaceutical brand names.
Sponsored by the Committee on Continuing Legal Education, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Law Section, and the Trademark Committee of the Intellectual Property Law Section of the New York State Bar Association.
