The PMPRB has confirmed that patentees of "Grandfathered" and "Gap" medicines will have two reporting periods to comply with new price ceilings to be set under its new Guidelines, replacing previous guidance that only one reporting period would be permitted.

Updates to the Guidelines

As we reported, the Guidelines were released by the PMPRB on October 23, 2020 and are intended to implement amendments to the Patented Medicines Regulations  that were passed in August 2019.

At the time they were released, the Guidelines were scheduled to take effect together with the amendments to the Regulations on January 1, 2021. In December 2020, the government delayed the coming-into-force date of the amendments until July 1, 2021.
