MedTech Software Success for Startups: Navigating regulations and IP

Are you developing MedTech software? If so, then join experts Patent Attorney Dr Andy McKinlay of Page White Farrer and software MedTech regulation specialist Dr Iain Charlton of Charlton Regulatory Consulting for a session full of practical hints and tips for new and growing MedTech businesses.

MedTech businesses face a plethora of hurdles when they want to get new software products into the hands of patients and clinical users. The difficulties of navigating complex medical regulations and standards are significant. When you put all of that time, effort, and money into addressing those difficulties, you don’t want to find yourself in a position where someone else is riding on your coattails, so protecting your intellectual property (IP) is a must.

Although MedTech regulations and IP might seem like different worlds, as we’ll explore in this session, they have more in common than you might think. We’ll also be tackling the impact of the EU AI Act on MedTech companies – what are the timelines and practical implications, and how might the requirements for providing details of your AI to the regulator affect your IP strategy. After the speeches, there will be a Q&A session.
