Is the end for US patents near?

We are pleased to invite you to Medicon Valley Alliance’s Good Morning Meeting on the theme Is the end for US patents near?
USA is the largest market in the world for pharmaceutical products. Therefore US patents are important and they are in high demand by investors and companies. But over the last decade the American patentability bar for biotech and pharma inventions has changed fundamentally. Patent protection for “products of nature” has been eliminated creating new challenges for patent protection of antibodies, growth factors, small molecules, genes, and primers. Diagnostic methods are no longer considered inventions, which has rendered patenting follow on diagnostics and personalized medicine more difficult.
Learn from Høiberg’s patent experts what has happened and how to navigate in this unsecure and changed patent landscape.
