     Agenda shaped by the needs of pharma and biotech senior executives   

     Balanced 1:1 in-house & private practice ratio  

    Uniting the entire life sciences IP ecosystem under one roof this September! If you want to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving world of pharma and biotech IP, this is where the conversation starts.

    Where Life Sciences IP Strategy Comes Full Circle

    Life sciences IP is entering a new era, where patent prosecution, litigation strategy, regulatory frameworks, and commercial objectives must operate as one. As the Unified Patent Court (UPC) reshapes enforcement across Europe, AI transforms prosecution workflows, and the EU Pharma Package redefines exclusivity, organisations are under increasing pressure to build resilient, commercially aligned IP strategies. 

    The opportunities for innovation and growth have never been greater, but success depends on strategic coordination, operational efficiency, and the ability to adapt quickly to a shifting legal and regulatory landscape. From cross-border litigation and SPC reform to biologics disputes and AI-driven drug discovery, the stakes are higher than ever for life sciences innovators. 

    Join Europe’s leading IP counsel, patent attorneys, litigators, regulators, pharmaceutical and biotech leaders at Life Sciences Patent Network Europe 2026, taking place 22–23 September in Basel, Switzerland — one of Europe’s leading pharmaceutical and biotech hubs. 

    Over two days, senior decision-makers from organisations including Novartis, Novo Nordisk, BAT, Roche, Leo Pharma, Recordati, SHL Medical, Syngenta, Lonza, and the UPC will come together to explore: 

    • How to strengthen patent portfolios from filing through enforcement 
    • Navigating the evolving UPC and EPO opposition landscape 
    • The impact of the EU Pharma Package on exclusivity and lifecycle strategy 
    • AI in patent prosecution and IP workflow optimisation 
    • Cross-border litigation strategy and enforcement trends 
    • Clinical trial transparency and its implications for patent timing 
    • Building litigation-ready in-house IP functions aligned with business objectives
