Commission’s patents proposal doesn’t have to be so damaging

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:41 GMT

On April 27 2023, the European Commission proposed regulations which would transform the licensing of standard-essential patents (SEPs). This far-reaching and very flawed proposal is now pending before the European Council and the European Parliament.There are plenty of reasons why the European Commission’s proposed SEP Regulation should be withdrawn and reconsidered. These include: the lack of empirical evidence justifying regulatory intervention; the lack of evidence that the proposed SEP Regulation will achieve its goals; the clear lack of balance; the failure to consult with industry and Commission stakeholders; the fact that it is not proportionate.The very premise of the proposed SEP Regulation is also flawed. The are four main elements to the proposed SEP Regulation. First, there is a SEP register to count SEPs. Second, there are essentiality checks to eliminate false SEPs. Third, there is a process for aggregate royalty determinations. Finally, there are FRAND determinations...

In a tiny village along the Peruvian Amazon, women line up on a warm, rainy August morning to protect themselves against cervical cancer, a disease that claims the lives of six women in Peru every day.News had spread throughout nearby villages of a pilot screening project for human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus responsible for most cases of cervical cancer. Midwives were arriving in Comunidad El Salvador to show women how to collect their own vaginal samples. The women in line would be joining more than 100,000 others in getting tested as part of the wider screening program, involving Peru’s Ministry of Health, government organizations, patient advocates and other groups including Roche.[1]While it is well understood that HPV screening is vital to preventing cervical cancer, the lack of access in many remote or low-income parts of the world still leaves many women at a level of risk that should be unacceptable in the modern age.       Joanna Sick...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:41 GMT

The Chicago Bulls are seeking out potential landing spots for Zach LaVine. But the wheels of change keep grinding slowly as executive vice president of basketball operations Artūras Karnišovas appears to be set on a careful and steady approach.The Philadelphia 76ers and the Los Angeles Lakers are the two teams most interested in obtaining LaVine through a trade, according to a new report from The Athletic. But only days away from the Dec. 15 threshold — when the majority of players in the league become tradable — there isn’t much movement apparent in the Bulls front office.It’s always been clear the Bulls wouldn’t make a trade until January at the earliest. And with LaVine likely sidelined until the new year with a foot injury, it can be difficult to gauge the market. But that won’t stop the steady flow of trade gossip from now until the Feb. 8 deadline.One key piece of chatter gives important insight into the front office’s next s...
