WEBINAR VIDEO | What do the CJEU’s decisions on parallel trade of medicines mean for your company?
At this additional Christmas edition, the IP specialists in our Life Sciences team discuss the CJEU’s latest decisions on the parallel trade of medicines, and what these decisions mean in practice for your company.
On 17 November 2022, the CJEU delivered essentially two decisions on the parallel trade of medicines.
