RECENT WORK :

Support to a manufacturer of dietary supplements towards healthcare authorities of some Union member States

  • Healthcare authorities of some European Union member States challenged the classification of dietary supplement manufactured by one of the Firm’s client. These Authorities deemed that the said product was to be classified as a medicinal product at least by presentation. INTUITY assisted this client before these authorities by putting forward arguments to justify that the product concerned could not be classified as medicinal product by presentation, but completely meets the definition of a “dietary supplement”.

Advice to an innovative pharmaceutical company in a litigation proceeding on data protection

  • The Firm assisted an innovative pharmaceutical company of international dimension in the steps vis-à-vis the competent authorities for marketing authorization applied by a competitor for a fixed combination of active substances. This application was infringing the period for data protection the pharmaceutical benefits for one of its key specialty. INTUITY developed a line of reasoning challenging this authorization granting, and initiated contact with the French representative at European Medicines Agency so as to defend this opinion. The procedure was therefore suspended and the question raised by the pharmaceutical company was submitted to the European Commission.
