The recent, high-profile Munich Regional Court I decision on aflibercept has brought renewed focus to the application of the Doctrine of Equivalents in pharmaceutical patent disputes. The court’s reasoning has significant implications for the scope of protection available to originators and the freedom-to-operate assessments undertaken by biosimilar entrants in crowded, high-value markets. This session will examine the aflibercept decision, its interaction with established German and European equivalence case law and its potential consequences for generic launch and future pan-European injunction proceedings.
