Recent Patent Case Law in the Pharmaceutical, Chemical, and Biotech Fields

Inventions in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech fields are often complex culminations of significant research and development efforts. Drafting and litigating patent claims in these fields capable of surviving patent eligibility, novelty, and Section 112 challenges are therefore critical to protecting the value of these research and development endeavors. During this free interactive webinar, you will explore recent patent case decisions, which can substantially impact patent protection of innovations in pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech fields.

Topics will include:

• The application of Alice to biotech patents
• The importance of guiding data or information in the prior art when challenging the obviousness of inventions developed in the highly complex pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech fields
• Surviving indefiniteness challenges to relative terms or adjectives defined by ranges or functional language in patent claims
