SUMMARY:WEBINAR: Turning a Great Idea into a Great Business with IP: From Therapeutics to Digital Health
DESCRIPTION:Join attorneys Peter Mumford and Daniel Hudson from Potter Clarkson LLP\, for a practical discussion on the real-world experiences of two early-stage MedTech companies. They will present anonymized case studies that shed light on the complexities of managing intellectual property (IP) for young MedTech businesses. Using these real-life examples\, they will highlight the specific IP issues such companies encounter as they work towards innovation in healthcare. \nDetails on the case studies: \n– Case study one will focus on a MedTech start-up in the therapeutics space\, where Peter and Daniel will explore the challenges they faced in protecting their IP while striving to bring to market a product that will make a difference in patient care. \n– Case study two revolves around a MedTech company developing a novel medical device with a strong digital health component. Peter and Daniel will examine the unique IP considerations that arise in this context. \nThroughout these cases\, they will share practical strategies that have assisted their clients in their journey from idea conception to establishing themselves in the MedTech sector. \nBy the end of the webinar you will walk away with actionable insights that can benefit entrepreneurs\, investors\, and industry enthusiasts as they navigate the IP landscape in healthcare innovation. \nJoin us for an informative session where we delve into the challenges and solutions in the early stages of MedTech innovation. Gain a clearer understanding of how intellectual property plays a crucial role in the growth of visionary companies and the advancement of healthcare. \nSpeaker Profiles \n \nDaniel Hudson\, Partner – Patent Attorney\, Potter Clarkson\nDaniel is an experienced UK and European patent attorney and a partner in the firm’s electronics and computing group.\nDaniel drafts and prosecutes UK and European patent applications in a wide range of technologies.

SUMMARY:IN-PERSON EVENT: 3D Technologies and Augmented Reality: Improving Surgical Planning and Intervention
DESCRIPTION:The next MedTech & Systems Special Interest Group event will be held in person\, with a focus on the latest developments in 3D technologies and augmented reality. The presentations will consider how these fields are creating significant improvements in surgical planning and intervention. \nToday\, the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in healthcare is expanding. Augmented Reality\, Virtual Reality and Extended Reality (XR) are now much more common terms linked to the delivery of realistic interactive experiences through real-life simulation and user immersion. Technologies including the Microsoft HoloLens and the Vuzix AR platforms have provided additional and exciting possibilities linked to healthcare and surgery. Surgeons rely on information from CT scans\, MRI’s\, X-rays and other patient data sources to determine surgical requirements and to preoperatively plan prior to a surgical procedure. If using wearable technologies\, this data could be represented in a surgeon’s line of sight\, utilising AR tools to potentially provide significant surgical procedural advantages during an operation and ultimately improve patient outcomes. \nChaired by Professor Phil Breedon\, Professor of Smart Technologies at Nottingham Trent University\, this session brings together a panel of leading experts\, including: \n\nJason Watson\, Consultant Maxillofacial Prosthetist\, Nottingham University Hospital\nRory O’Connor\, Consultant in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Major Trauma\, Nottingham University Hospital\nDr Arsham Khayatpoor\, Medical Account Manager\, Materialise UK\n\nThis in-person event will also allow ample time for Q&A and networking. \nCLICK HERE TO SECURE YOUR PLACE TODAY\nThis free-to-attend event is held as part of the INSTILS programme – a project part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund\, click here to be re-directed to further information about the project.  \nPlease note: whilst this event is held as part of the INSTILS programme\, attendance is not restricted to companies in the D2N2/NG area and is open to all. \nSpeaker Profiles \n \nJason Watson\, Consultant Clinical Scientist in Reconstructive Science\, Nottingham University Hospitals Trust \nJason completed his post graduate training at the Northern General Hospital\, Sheffield\, in the 1990s. Jason started his my own unit in Nottingham at the QMC in 2002\, where the laboratory has become one of the most innovative centres in the field of Maxillofacial Prosthetics and Reconstructive Science. \nJason has published over 30 papers and book chapters. He has also received national awards including the Chief Scientific Officers Award for Leadership and Innovation 2010 in recognition for establishing the first in-house 3D print service in the NHS.
