The recent proposal by government to codify ethics for pharma companies with uniform code of pharmaceutical marketing practices and recent changes in MCI guidelines and DGCI guidelines on gifting to doctors and medical profession means that it is no longer business as usual. With increased competitive pressure and closer scrutiny of regulators and other stakeholders, there is now an urgent need for pharmaceutical companies to proactively manage their internal process on governance, ethics and compliance to protect against potential financial penalties, possible product withdrawals and damaged reputations. And with significant investment in R&D by Pharma companies, high level of collaboration and cooperation between Indian and multinational pharma companies in contract research and manufacturing, managing and negotiating contracts and licensing agreements and having an effective patent strategy becomes more important than ever to avoid disputes which have an adverse financial and reputational impact on both parties. In view of the above Lex Witness presents India’s first comprehensive discussions dealing with important issues affecting the industry on governance, ethics, compliance, contracts management, licensing agreements and developing a proactive legal strategy for patent litigations.
