International Quality & Productivity Center (IQPC) has made a podcast on polymorph patents available on its website.  The podcast, which answers the question of how can polymorph patents increase cost efficiency, is an interview with Mandar Kodgule, Head of Intellectual Property and Strategic Planning at Wockhardt.  In addition to answering this question, the podcast offers five strategic considerations to sustain a healthy polymorph patent portfolio and to create polymorphic wealth, touches upon how the regulatory landscape is changing and what impact it is having on enforceability of polymorph patents, and addresses the issue of excessive innovation in the polymorph arena, which is leading to misuse in certain cases, and why this is so.  The podcast, which is being made available at no cost, can be obtained on the Developing IP Strategies for Crystalline Forms conference website or here.

Patent Docs is a preferred blog of the Developing IP Strategies for Crystalline Forms conference.
