INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AT THE CORE OF GENFIT'S STRATEGY

Since its creation, Genfit has put in place a dedicated organisation in charge of establishing and preserving the Intellectual Property (IP) assets and supporting the strategic position and the development of the company.

The IP Department is responsible for pursuing the appropriate management and protection of IP assets that the company has generated through in-house research programs and collaborative research programs with both pharmaceutical and academic partners.

Today, the company has generated a large patent portfolio that covers strategic assets including novel chemical entities, pharmaceutical uses and compositions, biological materials, and diagnostic as well as research tools and methods.
