PhRMA Muscles In With Post-Brexit Trade Deal Wish List

US industry lobby group PhRMA wants a future post-Brexit US-UK trade deal to lengthen regulatory data protection for biologicals and to introduce stronger patent protections in the UK. The generics and biosimilars industry has rejected PhRMA's proposals, saying they would delay the launch of competing products in the UK and have a knock-on effect on biologic drug pricing in the US.
