Welcome to the April edition of Pharma Insights. In this edition, we consider tips and tricks for sponsors of prescription medicines when designing educational campaigns for the general public, bearing in mind Medicines Australia's Code of Conduct.
We also look at the Productivity Commissioner's recent recommendations about improvements to the current Australian consumer policy framework, and the development in th EU and UK in relation to the collective redress debate.
In Patent Law we consider the impact of three recent decisions from the Federal Court on the courts' granting of interlocutory injunctions for the infringement of pharmaceutical patents.
