The Basel Intellectual Property Lectures have been initiated by Dr. Wasner in January 2008, and are generously supported and funded by F.Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. since then. With the kind help of the University of Basel and the European Center of Pharmaceutical Medicine ECPM, the lecture series can take place at the Pharmacenter of the University, establishing a neutral and open forum for everyone interested in the subject of intellectual property.

Invited are patent attorneys, attorneys at law, IP managers, scientists, students and everyone who is interested in the latest developments of intellectual property law, in particular patent law. Lively discussions during the get together after the lectures are highly appreciated.

All the thanks goes to F.Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., the University of Basel and the ECPM for their generous support and help for making the Basel Intellectual Property Lectures so successful.
