J A Kemp will be offering a webinar entitled "Patenting Antibody Pharmaceuticals at the EPO" on April 15, 2021 from 2:30 to 3:30 pm BST (British Summer Time). Vicki Allen and Andrew Bentham of J A Kemp will explore the basic principles of patenting of antibodies, and highlight recent trends in examination and strategies for drafting new cases and for addressing objections to existing applications. The webinar will address the following topics:
• Can broad antibody claims still be obtained?
• Writing robust claims around specific antibody drug candidates
• Inventive step when the target is known
• What data to provide to support inventive step
• USPTO and EPO practice: divergent or convergent?
• Epitope/competition claims, combinations/cocktails, bispecifics and other non-traditional binder formats
• Other routes to patentability
