Two member firms of Rajah & Tann Asia, Rajah & Tann Singapore and Assegaf Hamzah & Partners (“AHP“), are members of the Lifesciences Asia-Pacific Network (“LAN“) which was established for the Lifesciences sector to support and guide clients on all their legal and regulatory needs in the Asia-Pacific region. LAN’s members include other leading and largest law firms in the region, such as Atsumi & Sakai in Japan, Chen & Lin in Taiwan, CMS in China and Hong Kong, Corrs Chambers Westgarth in Australia, Khaitan & Co in India, Tilleke & Gibbins in Thailand and Vietnam, and Yulchon LLC in Korea.
Rajah & Tann Singapore and AHP have recently contributed to the Singapore and Indonesia chapters of Medical Device Cybersecurity guide, a comparative guide produced by LAN that provides a high-level summary of the cybersecurity and personal data privacy regimes that medical device companies looking to expand into the Asia-Pacific region must take note of. As medical devices become more interconnected and data-driven, cybersecurity and personal data privacy have become critical issues that medical device manufacturers must grapple with. Understanding the complex and rapidly evolving cybersecurity and personal data privacy landscape across the Asia-Pacific region is therefore essential in order to ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements in the relevant jurisdictions .
The guide covers these nine Asia-Pacific countries: Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Lau Kok Keng, Head of the Intellectual Property, Sports and Gaming of Rajah & Tann Singapore, and Mita Kartohadiprodjo, Partner with AHP, authored the Singapore and Indonesia chapters, respectively, of the guide.
