On 4 July 2025, the Ideas in ALL Blog published a blog post by Dr Opeyemi Kolawole, a postdoctoral researcher on the PatentsinHumans Project. The blog post examined the proposed amendments to the European Union’s Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC) framework, including reforms which would impact SPCs for pharmaceuticals and other medicinal products. Specifically, the blog post examined whether, and to what extent, these reforms could affect access to medical products and technologies within the EU.
