Antibody Patenting: U.S. and Asian Perspectives

As part of Strafford Publications’ webinar series, Finnegan attorneys Jeffrey Jacobstein and Amanda Murphy will examine the patentability requirements in the USPTO, JPO and NIPA/CPO for claiming a broad genus of antibodies, recent case law that could impact those claims, and how to best protect antibody inventions in light of the recent developments. The program will consider best practices on what and how much data should be included in a patent application to support claims of differing scope, the extent to which post-filing data can be relied on to support the claims, and how examiners are being instructed to examine antibody inventions. For more information, or to register, please see Strafford Publications’ website.
