Finnegan and Aptuit Consulting are partnering to present this complimentary seminar. This seminar focuses on solid form patents of drug substances and chemical products from three different viewpoints—the preparation and prosecution of the patent application, litigation involving the patent, and the viewpoint of a solid-state pharmaceutical consultant/ expert witness. Both scientific techniques and legal strategies will be discussed.
