Work highlights
- Represented Farmacosmo S.p.A. in relation to the sale to G&Ph Holding of a stake representing 67% of the share capital of Innovation Pharma and on the simultaneous sale by Innovation Pharma to Farmacosmo of a stake representing 67% of the share capital of Farmacia De Leo. The transaction aims to optimise Farmacosmo's investments in the store pharmacy segment which is in line with the strategic plan approved by the issuer.
- Representing Meril Life Sciences PVT. Ltd. in relation to a patent infringement and unfair competition litigation brought by Edwards Life Sciences in Italy (before the Court of Milan, Turin, and Naples) against the same Meril Life Sciences PVT. Ltd. and its distributors. Edwards Lifesciences Corporation claims that the marketing and distribution of Meril’s Myval device and the Navigator device would infringe a number of patents, including several divisional patents, owned by Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and constitutes unfair competition.
- Assisting Zhermack S.p.A. with solving an impasse that had arisen following a clash between the client's business goals and the registration requirements for medical device manufacturers in the EUDAMED database, according to the MDR. The issue causing the impasse concerned a complex interplay of regulations on the use of trade names by the company, medical device labelling and the requirements for registration in EUDAMED. This led to a stoppage by the Italian regulatory authority, which rejected the client's proposal of registration in EUDAMED.
