📆💻 On January 27, AmCham members took part in the Industrial Session of the 19th EU-Ukraine IPR Dialogue between the European Commission and Ukraine to address systemic IPR issues companies experience in Ukraine.

“Business community insists on the need to amend current patent legislation that regulates the Bolar provision in Ukraine and Supplementary Protection Certificates issuance to protect patent owners from potential infringements, as well as to facilitate the launch of generic medicines on the market the next day after the end of the patent protection period”, stated Oliver Gierlichs, CEO of Bayer, in the framework on Patent legislation section of the event.

👆🏼 Borys Danevych, AmCham Healthcare Committee Co-Chair, Partner at CMS Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang - Ukraine, highlighted that the new Draft Law on medicines, which the Parliament is supposed to consider in the second reading shortly, contains conflicting and not aligned with the EU legislation provisions on regulatory data protection and exclusivity, which are ambiguous and allow multiple interpretations. These provisions may also negatively affect the mechanism of patent protection in the pharmaceutical sector. On another note, AmCham welcomes the declared intentions of the Government to address the issue of counterfeiting and illicit trade in medicines, medical devices, and animal health products and would very much appreciate the support from the EU side in this field.

🤝 We are grateful to the representatives of the European Commission, Ministry of Economy, EU Delegation to Ukraine, and all participants for this opportunity to discuss crucial IP issues. We look forward to continuing a constructive dialogue in the future.
