    Bringing Europe’s Pharma & Biotech IP Community Together


    The pharmaceutical and biotech industries are entering a period of unprecedented change.

    Patent strategy, litigation, regulatory exclusivity and commercial objectives can no longer operate independently. As the UPC continues to reshape European enforcement, the EU pharmaceutical framework evolves and emerging technologies transform drug development and IP management, businesses must build increasingly sophisticated strategies for protecting and commercialising innovation.

    LSPN Europe 2027 will bring together 300+ IP professionals from across the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors for two days of practical discussion, strategic insight and high-value networking in Basel — one of Europe’s most important global life sciences hubs.

    Meet senior in-house counsel, patent leaders, litigators, regulators and specialist advisers from across the pharma and biotech ecosystem to examine the legal, commercial and strategic developments shaping the future of life sciences IP.

    📍 Basel, Switzerland  |  September 2027

    Connecting 300+ Senior IP Leaders across Europe's premier life sciences hub.
