Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Antibody Patenting: U.S. and Asian Perspectives" on April 18, 2019 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Jeffrey M. Jacobstein and Murphy, Amanda of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner, Osamu Yamamoto of Yuasa and Hara, and Daniel Miao Cheng of Cheng & Peng will guide patent counsel on the patentability requirements at the USPTO, JPO and CNIPA/CPO when claiming antibodies, recent case law that could impact those claims, and how to protect antibody inventions in light of the latest developments. The webinar will review the following issues:
• How broadly can the applicant claim?
• How much support is needed on a filing?
• What are the differences between U.S. requirements, JPO requirements and CNIPA/CPO requirements?
• What is a sufficient description of a genus?
• Can functional language be included?
• When can post-filing data be used?
• What is needed to demonstrate the nonobviousness of antibody claims in the different jurisdictions?
The registration fee for the webcast is $347. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
