PHARMAC is interested in considering proposals from suppliers of Patent Attorney Services and Patent Awareness and Monitoring Services. In particular, PHARMAC is interested in the following types of services:
• Proposals to provide Patent Attorney Services to PHARMAC as a preferred supplier to PHARMAC. Patent attorney services under this arrangement are likely to primarily consist of providing due diligence / patent landscape opinions and related advisory work. Occasionally the services may include litigation advice in relation to patent litigation. PHARMAC intends to appoint one or more preferred suppliers to provide Patent Attorney Services.
• Proposals to provide Patent Awareness and Monitoring Services to PHARMAC. This may include proactive provision of information in respect of patent and related market developments for specific pharmaceuticals, or more general patent information. PHARMAC anticipates that these services could be provided by registered patent attorneys or by other service providers. PHARMAC has made no decision whether to purchase Patent Awareness and Monitoring Services, but wishes to identify available services so that it can consider this option.
In both cases the services will relate to pharmaceutical patents or, occasionally, to medical device patents.
