FDA BOOT CAMP

FDA BOOT CAMP

Basic Training for Products Liability and Patent Lawyers

Monday, September 27 to Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Seaport Hotel, Boston, MA, United States

Increase your FDA regulatory knowledge to become a better life sciences products litigator or patent attorney

The approval process…pre-approval concerns…product labeling…clinical trials…adverse events reports…patent concerns…exclusivity. FDA law and regulations govern these critical aspects in the commercialization process for drugs, biologics, and devices. Recent court cases and high-profile litigation concerning FDA-regulated products have made it clear that it is essential for attorneys who do not have regulatory practices – but who deal with FDA-regulated products – to understand the rules and regulations that impact the life sciences arena.

Products liability and patent litigation concerning FDA-regulated products often hinges on what happened during the pre-approval, approval, or post-approval periods.

Becoming well-versed in the essentials of the approval process and post-approval hurdles will enable you to much more effectively navigate the regulatory maze that plays a critical role in your cases and practice.

Boost your FDA regulatory IQ.

Understand the FDA approval process and the ins and outs of post-approval challenges.
