Fiona Stevens is a European Patent Attorney at Gill Jennings & Every and handles a wide variety of work in the pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology fields. She has a Masters degree in Natural Sciences (chemistry, pharmacology and physiology) from the University of Cambridge.

The majority of Fiona’s clients are UK SMEs, primarily in the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industries. She has extensive experience helping companies create and shape their IP strategies and worldwide patent portfolios, and specialises in helping her clients get “due diligence ready.” Fiona has guided her clients through multiple fund-raising rounds and partnering processes, helping them raise well in excess of £200 million in the last two years alone.

Fiona has a particular interest in protecting re-profiled drugs via second medical use patents, and is on a mission to educate big pharma and investors as to their value, which is commonly misunderstood.

Event Synopsis:

The relentless transformation of generic competition seems to pose a threat for pharma and biotech lifecycles. With its growing complexity, companies with poor product lifecycle management strategies are more likely to be exposed to legal challenges and revenue risks.

In a two-hour live Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders, professionals and regulators assembled by The Knowledge Group will help the audience understand the most significant issues with respect to portfolio strategies in pharmaceutical and biotechnology patent lifecycle management and development. The panel will also share their expertise and insights on how to best maintain an effective and efficient patent portfolio in biotech and pharma lifecycle.

Key topics include:

− Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Patent Life Cycles – An Overview
− Patent Term Adjustments for Biotech and Pharma
− Role of PTA in Biotech and Pharma Patent Life Cycle
− Patent Term Extensions
− Patentability and Implications for Life Sciences Innovation
− Portfolio Strategies
− Common Risks and Pitfalls
