One Year Later: Complying with the
Massachusetts Gift Ban Law
Friday, February 26, 2010
8:00 – 10:30 a.m.
860 Winter Street
Last year Massachusetts’ “gift ban” law went into effect, requiring medical device companies to restrict their marketing and product development practices and to report on payments to Massachusetts-licensed health care providers. This seminar will examine the Mass. Department of Public Health’s implementation of this law; enforcement policies;
how
the law impacts intellectual property licensing; and company compliance strategies.
