The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have been affected by the recent acceptance and rejection of patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). After issuing a memorandum on preliminary examination instructions in light of Alice Corp in 2014, the USPTO has been stricter in granting patent rights under §101. The office has begun issuing Alice rejections where no prior patent rejections existed, and this included pharmaceutical and biotech-related patents.

Due to the continued impact of the rejections, it is important to know how the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries should prepare for patent protection. In this LIVE webcast, a panel of leading professionals and thought leaders will help pharmaceutical and biotech professionals understand the important aspects of this important topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion on patent protection for pharmaceutical and biotechnology in 2017. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing a strategic guide for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to overcome potential rejections.

Some of the key topics covered in this course are:

Overview of major Federal Circuit decisions in the life sciences after Alice
Update on legislative proposals to amend Article 101
101 Issues Concerning Abstract Ideas and Natural Laws in Diagnostic Methods and Related Claims
101 questions about natural products
Strategies for Handling and Avoiding Section 101 Denials
