Pharma companies are currently assessing how the Pharma Review will affect their portfolios.

On March 16, 2023 the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) rendered an important judgment[1] for the pharmaceutical industry as it brings some clarification on the test to assess if two products have the ‘same active substance’ and therefore belong to the same Global Marketing Authorisation (GMA). This is a crucial determination as products falling within the GMA of an existing product do not benefit from an independent period of regulatory data protection (RDP) and marketing protection.

The UK veterinary medicines industry needs to respond by March 31 to a consultation on proposed changes to the UK Veterinary Medicines Regulations which could boost data protection for regulatory submissions, incentivising innovation.
