The California
Healthcare Institute (CHI) and D Young & Co will be hosting two seminars on
Patenting Biotech Inventions on November
19, 2013 in San Diego, CA and on November 20, 2013 in San Francisco, CA. The seminars will explore the key issues
in patenting biotech and medical device inventions in Europe, including
the following topics:
• The major
differences between patenting biotech and medical device inventions in the
US and Europe.
• Traps to avoid,
including approaches to stem cells, antibodies, personalised medicine and
more.
• Requirements for
experimental data in European patent applications.
• Protecting
diagnostic inventions in Europe.
• The impact of one
of the biggest changes to the patent landscape Europe has seen since 1978:
the unitary patent and filing strategies.
Speakers will include Fredrik Aslund, Examination Director, European Patent Office, and Aylsa Williams, Catherine Mallalieu, Robert Dempster, and Simon O'Brien of D Young & Co.
Each day the
seminar will close with a networking lunch.
