Delay-and-pay: prolonging pharmaceutical patent protection without paying the ‘price’ by Foss-Solbrekk, K

“…It starts by showing how actors now protect medicines with large patent portfolios comprising several different patents, which lays the basis for the structure of subsequent chapters. Following the traditional patent filing timeline of pharmaceutical patent portfolios, each chapter shows the relevant patent and/or ensuing procedural right forms one part of the delay-and-pay strategy and proposes targeted solutions. …”
