This seminar is organized to honour Allen Norris who, after many years of dedication to the strategic protection of patented innovation in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, seeds and plant biotechnology areas, is leaving UCB Pharma and  the board of LES Benelux. The seminar consists of an interactive panel discussion of internationally well-known distinguished speakers, all former Presidents of LES International. They will share and discuss with us their expert vision and vast experience on the issue ‘does innovation need IP?’
