Digital Health deals sit at the intersection of data, technology and life sciences and reflect the full range of business models, from SaaS to clinical treatment. As AI and Digital Health technologies are set to transform the healthcare industry, licensing contracts carve out new partnerships with new forms of derived data, push the boundaries of patentable subject matter, and implicate new issues in data provenance,and scope of permitted use while new consumer data sources are used as health indicators. Panelists will discuss emerging issues related to protecting and licensing data and IP from the perspectives of diverse sectors and jurisdictions.

LESI and EPA Case Study: IP Success stories in SMEs - Boosting your strategy with IP in high-growth technology businesses
14:00 - 16:00
Using an illustrative IP success story in med tech and some practical frameworks, we will explore how intellectual property management can add value to your business from a strategic perspective.
The European Patent Office (EPO) has produced a series of studies on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which are leveraging the power of patents and other IP rights to achieve business success. The studies illustrate how young and established SMEs have developed the IP management capabilities they need, and how they are using IP strategically to their advantage.
Micrel Medical Devices, one of the businesses analysed in the EPO's very popular SME case study collection, will showcase the evolution of its IP strategies throughout different phases of its development, and how this went hand in hand with changing product features and target customers over three generations of patents. As computer-implemented inventions (CII) played a crucial role, the latest insights into the patentability of CII will demonstrate how emerging technologies can be protected to create a sustainable competitive advantage for businesses.
