Registration for the event will start at 6pm followed by the talk and opportunity for discussion at 6:15pm. David Rosenberg and Darren Smyth have kindly agreed to speak on the following subject: “Lyrica in the Supreme Court: broader lessons for pharmaceuticals” There was much excitement surrounding the Supreme Court’s judgment in November on Pfizer’s second medical use patent for Pregabalin for pain (Pfizer’s blockbuster Lyrica drug). Now that the dust has settled, we will discuss the broader implications for the pharmaceutical sector and the competitive framework for drugs with both patented and unpatented uses. David Rosenberg is a solicitor and, until the end of the year, is Vice President IP Policy at GlaxoSmithKline. Before he joined GSK in 2000, he was in the IP department at a major City law firm. Since then, he has handled GSK external IP policy work and been deeply involved in such matters as work on access to medicines and the UPC. He sits on many trade associations and chairs the IP committee of EFPIA (the European innovative pharmaceutical trade association). He was deeply involved in the European Commission Sector Inquiry into the Pharmaceutical Industry. Darren Smyth is a UK and European Patent Attorney and is the head of EIP's chemistry practice group EIP Elements.

If more than 40 percent of adults in East Africa Public Disclosure Authorized pay their utility bills using a mobile phone, why can’t others around the world do the same? If 8 million entrepreneurs in China—one-third of them women—can use an e-commerce platform to export goods to 120 countries, why can’t entrepreneurs elsewhere achieve the same global reach? And if India can provide unique digital identifica- tion to 1 billion people in five years, and thereby reduce corruption by billions of dollars, why can’t other countries replicate its success? Indeed, what’s holding back countries from realizing the profound and transformational effects that digital technologies are supposed to deliver? Two main reasons. First, nearly 60 percent of the world’s population are still offline and can’t participate in the digital economy in any meaningful way. Second, and more important, Public Disclosure Authorized the benefits of digital technologies can be offset by growing risks. DIGITAL Startups can disrupt incumbents, but not when vested interests and regulatory uncertainty obstruct competition and the entry of new firms. Employment opportunities may be greater, but not when DIVIDENDS the labor market is polarized. The internet can be a platform for universal empowerment, but not when it becomes a tool for state OVERVIEW control and elite capture. The World Development Report 2016 shows that while the digital revolution has forged ahead, its “analog complements”—the regulations that promote entry and competition, the skills that enable workers to access and then leverage the new economy, and the institutions that are accountable to citizens—have not kept Public Disclosure Authorized pace.
