The pharma industry is highly competitive, with many companies across the globe working on similar medications and treatments. With more and more Canadian pharmaceutical companies launching new therapies and medications, it’s crucial that domestic firms protect their intellectual property and develop strategies that contribute to their success. At the same time, companies must be on top of any patent-related regulatory shifts, which can quickly change and make it more difficult for businesses to protect their products.
