SUMMARY:Substantive Patent Examination from a Public Health Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Substantive Patent Examination from a Public Health Perspective\nThis two-part webinar, organized by the WHO Secretariat and the WHO Regional Office for Africa in collaboration with the Egyptian Intellectual Property Authority (EGIPA), focuses on promoting high-quality patent examination practices that incorporate public health considerations. It aims to enhance the capacity of patent examiners, especially in low- and middle-income countries, to apply intellectual property frameworks that support access to affordable medicines and encourage health-related innovation.\nThe sessions will provide guidance and training on examining patents for medicines and health products from a public health angle, and foster exchange among patent offices, policymakers, and technical experts. Participants will also be introduced to WHO’s public health-oriented approaches to patent examination and encouraged to attend follow-up workshops.\nDates (registration covers both webinars):Part 1: 30 June 2025, 13:00-15:30 CESTPart 2: 1 July 2025, 13:00-15:30 CEST\nTarget Audience:Patent examiners, staff from patent offices, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in health innovation and access.\nHosted online by WHO: Link will be provided after successful registration (one registration covers both webinars).\nhttps://indico.un.org/event/1018430/\n
