Recent Developments in Patent Law: Non-Obviousness of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Patents

Join a discussion on recent developments in patent law, particularly the non-obviousness of chemical and pharmaceutical patents. During the interactive webinar, you will be apprised of these developments, which can substantially impact patent protection of chemical and pharmaceutical innovations.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Chemical and pharmaceutical development is highly complex and uncertain, and various approaches are not “obvious to try”
• Hindsight reasoning is legally improper and cannot be used to invalidate patent claims
• Evidence of secondary considerations, such as long-felt unmet need and unexpected results, can support a finding of non-obviousness
