Hosted by Chris Goddard on 25 June 2020, this webinar is the first in a two part series covering Supplementary Protection Certificates.
A Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC) is a form of intellectual property that can extend the protection of patented active ingredients present in pharmaceutical or plant protection products by up to five years.
