Description:

This course emphasizes patent law principles and doctrines as applied to biotechnology, including pharmaceutical, patents.

Topics include patent eligibility of biotechnological inventions including diagnostics, claim strategies, written description, enablement, utility, best mode including requirements for biological deposits, inventorship, inherent anticipation, obviousness, infringement, and the intersection of patent and FDA regimes for small molecules and biologics.
