Börsen-Zeitung : “German medical technology sector loses momentum”

The Börsen-Zeitung covers the publication of the SHS-Medtech-Index and reports on new developments in the industry, with the Medical Device Regulation being a crucial topic. In light of stagnant numbers of patent approvals per year in the Medtech industry, Hubertus Leonhardt is cited by the newspaper. The Managing Partner of SHS states that there is no reason for alarmism, but continues: “the development of the patent approvals shows that the generally positive conditions in the Medtech sector could be in danger, if the innovation capacity gets hampered by regulatory measures.”
