Anti-COVID devices: a comparison between the UK and Italy (on demand)
The emergency generated by the spread of COVID-19 has determined the need to use various types of medical and anti-COVID device. This has led governments to regulate their manufacture and marketing through exceptional regimes dealing with the emergency. In this webinar Marco de Morpurgo, partner in the Rome office and co-head of the life sciences sector at DLA Piper, will briefly analyse the regulation of anti-COVID devices in Europe. A discussion will follow between Duncan Calow of the London office and Roberto Valenti of the Milan office, both IP and technology partners at DLA Piper, on the limitations of marketing of anti-COVID devices in the UK and Italy.
