Germany Life Sciences Update - Product Liability for Pharmaceuticals & Medical Devices under the new EU Product Liability Directive

We cordially invite you to join our next “Life Sciences Update". This time, we will focus on the new EU Product Liability Directive and its consequences for pharmaceuticals and medical devices companies. We will also discuss the newest Supreme Court case-law in Germany that will lead to significantly heightened liability risks for pharmaceutical companies.

Topics covered will include:

• Overview of the new EU Product Liability Directive (PLD).
• Broader liability grounds, including new liability for software (e.g., AI-systems).
• Presumptions easing burden of proof for plaintiffs for defectiveness and causation.
• The new disclosure claims against manufacturers under the PLD.
• New German case-law: increased liability risks for pharma companies and consequences also for pharmacovigilance departments.
