New Pharmaceutical Register Launched by the EAPO

On March 1 the EAPO Pharmaceutical Register was launched on the EAPO web portal.

A brand new information resource similar to the US Orange Book provides information on Eurasian patents on active pharmaceutical ingredients with international non-proprietary names. The register may include relating to active pharmaceutical ingredients, methods of production and usage thereof.

The resource contains information on Eurasian patents validity in the Eurasian Patent Convention member states, availability of SPC extending the patent term, license agreements. If applicable, the EAPO Pharmaceutical Register shall also include the data on medicinal products registration in the abovementioned contracting states.

From now on the owners of Eurasian patents and their representatives are able to submit a request for inclusion of the relevant Eurasian patents in the Register. Such request can be provided on hard copy or via the EAPO-ONLINE system. The data is included in the Register after the EAPO verification.

The EAPO Pharmaceutical Register was created for informing the public and especially those who are engaged in producing, registration and circulation of medicinal products and pharmacologically active substances on the territories of Eurasian Patent Convention member states.

The Register is aimed at preventing violations of Eurasian patents holders rights.
