    Bringing the entire life sciences IP ecosystem together under one roof this September.


    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 Unified Patent Court (UPC) will come together to explore:
