Overview

Life sciences patent litigation has witnessed numerous precedential changes in the last few years affecting every aspect of the field, from patent eligibility (on which the pendulum may be swinging back towards innovators) to enablement and obviousness (on which the pendulum may be swinging away from the same folks) and infringement liability.  In this program, patent attorney Aaron Pereira will do a quick and deep dive into some key decisions from the federal courts and the PTAB in the life sciences space, with a focus on what the decisions really mean โ€“ how they impact the industry and your ability to protect, challenge and litigate life sciences innovations. 

This program is geared towards in-house and outside IP counsel but should benefit anyone with an interest in emerging issues in the life sciences space.
