Navigating patent issues in medical sales

I’ve noticed that many medical sales professionals overlook the importance of intellectual property protection in their work. This can lead to compliance issues down the line, especially when launching new products. I’m curious how others in the field approach this topic and what resources they find helpful for staying informed.

You’re spot on about IP protection! I’ve found using tools like @IPWatchdog really helps stay on top of compliance issues. How do you usually keep updated?

And i totally agree — staying updated on IP is crucial — i find attending webinars really helpful for new product launches. Anyone know good ones coming up?
