Off-Patent Plant Protection Product Development and Registration

Life Scientific is the only full service contract research organisation (CRO) focused exclusively on off-patents. In a market where only 3 in 10 molecules in a typical Multinational Enterprise’s (MNE’s) portfolio are patented, MNEs have still maintained almost 70% market share.

Our competitors (including the MNE in-house R&D function) were set up to develop new molecules; there is no other full service CRO, field testing facility, or regulatory consultancy set up specifically to develop off-patents.

How do we achieve success for our clients? In short, we make it our business to mine information about existing active substances and off-patent plant protection products that isn’t easily accessible, but is pivotal in piggy-backing on old molecules. We never re-invent the wheel. Rather we leverage our unique mix of scientific and regulatory knowledge to optimize off-patent plant protection product development and registration. This includes development of identical formulations by reverse engineering, accelerated 5-batch analysis supported by knowledge of impurity profiles, and accelerated registration through knowledge of non transparent, evolving and complex regulatory requirements.

We understand precedent so we can lever it.

As a result, we get products to market first, fast and without fail.

Our vision is to be the Gold Standard, the preferred choice of research based / Blue Chip companies for off-patent development and for lifecycle and portfolio management, by being niche, specialized and optimally configured.

Our unique one-stop-shop configuration, integrating laboratory and regulatory affairs functions, all optimized for off patents, allows us to meet the regulatory requirements, no more no less. This seamless interface with regulatory authorities allows us to produce studies that are "fit for purpose" and so we get it right first time, every time.
