BIA guide to the SPC manufacturing waiver

On 1 July 2019, legislation came into effect that amends the EU Supplementary protection certificates (SPC) Regulation. This guide, prepared by the BIA’s IP Advisory Committee (IPAC), provides an overview for members concerning the changes. The guide was updated in May 2021 to reflect changes following the UK's departure from the EU. The guide is not comprehensive and is not intended to constitute legal advice or opinion.
