SUMMARY:Xartec Salut - TRAINING PILL - How to obtain the CE Mark with Medical Devices: Introduction to the EU MDR 2017/745
DESCRIPTION:How to obtain the CE Mark with Medical Devices: Introduction to the EU MDR 2017/745 \n– Carmen Martín – \nBrief description of the session / register \nMedical technologies are the top technical field in patent applications in Europe since 2020. However\, only a small percentage of these patents obtain the CE Mark\, which is one of the most important milestones. European certification requires meticulous planning by the manufacturer from a regulatory perspective. In order to ensure that medical devices are safe\, this training lays the foundation for regulatory planning\, beginning with the classification of the device\, the EU regulatory ecosystem\, the conformity assessment procedure\, the clinical evaluation\, the development of the technical documentation\, and the requirements for quality management system certification and registration. \nCarmen Martín has a career of more than 25 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs\, Clinical Research and Quality Assurance\, working with the Medical Devices Industry. Carmen is an expert in ensuring that regulatory strategies are conducted effectively to meet business objectives and legal requirements as well as protect life and human health. Carmen has led over 200 internal and external audits as a lead auditor and technical product specialist for Medical Devices and In-Vitro Diagnostic devices as well as their manufacturers. Carmen is also a MedTech guest speaker in the start-up and university ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Xartec Salut - TRAINING PILL - "Key points to successfully protect your inventions by patents\, copyright and know-how"
DESCRIPTION:“Key points to successfully protect your inventions by patents\, copyright and know-how”\n– Bernabé Zea – \nDescription of the session /register \nThis talk\, aimed especially at researchers\, will explain the steps to be taken to obtain adequate protection for inventions in order to facilitate the transfer of technology and\, ultimately\, its commercialization and monetization. \nFirst\, the different forms of protection (patents\, know-how and copyright) will be briefly described\, as well as the requirements for obtaining them. The concept of freedom to operate associated with the product or service to be commercialized will also be explained. \nThe difference between invention and commercial product will then be clarified. How it is possible to protect different aspects of the product through different patents\, or by using different forms of protection. How to extrapolate protection from concrete solutions found in the laboratory\, to broad inventions that can offer protection to a much more commercially interesting platform will also be covered. \nThere are certain discoveries that are not patentable. In addition\, in recent years the criteria for exceptions to patentability that exist in Europe and the USA have been separated and have become much more demanding in the USA\, especially in the area of diagnostics. What can and cannot be protected in both territories will be explained. \nSoftware\, an indispensable element in many medical devices\, will be given special consideration\, as it is patent-protectable under certain conditions\, but can also be protected by copyright. How to take advantage of this dual protection will be explained. Protection through know-how may sometimes be the best route to follow\, this too will be explained. \nIn the case of patents\, the different existing protection routes\, the times associated with protection and also the costs will be discussed. So that the researcher can adjust the protection to the timescale of their research. It will also be explained which experiments are necessary to achieve better protection\, so that the effectiveness of the experimental results can be maximized. \nFinally\, different examples will be used to facilitate the practical application of the course content covered. A compilation will be made of the key ideas that any researcher or innovation manager should know about the protection of inventions. \n  \nBernabé Zea is founding partner of ZBM Patents & Trademarks\, one of the most reputed Spanish patent firms. Bernabé has extensive experience in preparing patentability\, infringement and freedom-to- operate opinions\, negotiating patent licences\, conducting due diligence and drafting patents. His practice focuses on organic chemistry and pharmacy\, but also includes biotechnology and biochemistry. \nHe frequently acts as an expert in patent court actions before Spanish courts. He has acted as a technical expert both within and outside Spain in many cases involving blockbuster drugs such as atorvastatin\, escitalopram\, alendronate\, tamsulosine\, venlafaxine and the most recent cases of fulvestrant and pemetrexed. \nBernabé is CEO of ZBM BConnect a consultancy firm that assists private companies and public research institutions when optimizing their technology transfer activities. His main duties in ZBM BC are the management of the company\, obtaining technology from companies and other institutions and conducting negotiations to transfer the technology. \nHe started teaching at the Patent Centre of the University of Barcelona in 1988. He is an expert in searching patent and scientific literature\, as he was a representative of both STN International and Chemical Abstracts Service in Spain for over 10 years. Before this\, he worked for Questel-Orbit. He currently combines his position as partner at ZBM with his position as professor at the University of Barcelona. \nSince 1988 he has lectured regularly on patent matters on courses organised by the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office and the Patent Centre of the University of Barcelona\, as well as on the main Spanish master’s programmes on intellectual property. He has authored several\narticles on patent matters and patent documentation in Spanish newspapers and specialised journals. \nFinally\, Bernabé is vicepresident of Ahead Therapeutics. This start-up biotech company uses a proprietary technology to develop treatments for different autoimmune disorders. \n

SUMMARY:"The adventure of creating a startup from the CSIC" – Xartec Salut Formation
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE SESSION \nIn January 2003 we got the approval of the Council of Ministers to create the first “sociedad limitada” in which the CSIC was a partner. The company was called Biopolis and focused on offering R&D services for the Spanish agri-food industry (technically a CRO). \nAfter two years we were already generating profits and after four years we reinvested all the profits generated in founding Lifesequencing SL\, the first Spanish massive genome company. In this adventure we were accompanied by Secugen SL\, another CSIC spin-off. In the following years we expanded our capabilities in genomics\, microbial physiology\, animal models and scale-up and industrial production while increasing our customers in the European Union and LATAM until 2016\, when we reached a staff of 45 professionals with a turnover of almost 4 million euros. It was then when we decided to offer a part of the shareholding for the entry of a new partner to help us grow in North America and APAC. \nThen Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM) arrived and acquired 90% of the shares. Since then we have been part of this large multinational agri-food company. They bought most of ADM’s shares because we were a company that developed ingredients using high-quality science as the driving force and that is what we continue to do. \nThroughout this conference I will explain this journey and how my personal and professional life has changed over these twenty years. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nHe has a degree and a PhD in Biological Sciences from the University of Valencia. He did his PhD working at the Department of Molecular Genetics of the pharmaceutical company Antibioticos S.A. He carried out post-doctoral stays in the Wageningen University of Agriculture (The Netherlands). \nHe was Professor of Food Technology at the University of Valencia and Research Professor at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA) of the CSIC. He is currently on leave of absence from both academic responsibilities. In 2003 he founded the biotechnology company Biopolis S.L. specialized in microbial biotechnology and in 2008 the company Lifesequencing S.L. specialized in massive genome sequencing. Both companies were acquired in 2017 by the US multinational company Archer Daniels Midland Co (ADM). \nHe is currently Distinguished Research Fellow Microbiome at ADM and is the scientific director of the microbiome platform of this company.
