Law
Seminars International (LSI) will be offering a one-hour telebriefing entitled "Bowman
v. Monsanto: Practical Implications of the Supreme
Court's Ruling" on June 5, 2013 from 2:00 - 3:00 pm (Eastern). Jeffrey
I.D. Lewis of Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP will moderate a
panel including James W. Dabney of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson
LLP, and Randy M. Stutz, Senior Counsel and Director of Special Projects for
the American Antitrust Institute. The
panel will sort through exactly what issues the Supreme Court did and did not
resolve in this much-anticipated decision, and discuss the practical impacts of
the case, including what limits now exist on the patent protections afforded
genetically modified seeds and how the case fits into the broader scope of
Supreme Court patent decisions. Among
the topics to be covered are:
•
How patent law exhaustion interacts with the scope of patent protection for
self-replication inventions;
•
Immediate impacts of the opinion on patent rights and competition;
•
How Bowman fits into the broader
scope of Supreme Court patent decisions;
•
Limitations on patent protections for GMO seeds; and
•
Key issues left unresolved by the Court.
A
Q&A will follow the presentation and last for up to 30 minutes.
The
registration fee is $150 per caller and $100 for each additional person on the
same line who desires continuing education credit. Those interested in registering for the
telebriefing, can do so here.
