Event Synopsis:

The pharmaceutical industry is changing dramatically and rapidly with the introduction worldwide of new regulations, advances in technology, and greater competition. As a result, pharmaceutical firms want to decrease risk, and increase efficiency, transparency, and collaboration in the supply chain.

Numerous methods are used to protect pharmaceutical brands. Pharmaceutical companies increasingly use investigators to protect their supply chains and fight counterfeiting. The recent addition of Food and Drug Agency’s Track and Trace obligations increases the need for brand owners to consider protecting brands and their distribution.  Other tactics include serialization to combat the circulation of counterfeit drugs, and use of bar codes, RFIDs, Holograms, Taggants, and other anti-counterfeiting devices and methods.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss Pharmaceutical Brand Protection Programs and provide the audience with an overview of the Latest Trends and Legal Considerations in protecting pharmaceutical brands. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing an effective Pharmaceutical Brand Protection Program.
