- Title
Unsettled expectations: how recent patent decisions affect biotech.
- Authors
Simon, Brenda M.; Scott, Christopher T.
- Abstract
The article discusses the impact of the recent patent decisions on the biotechnology industry in the U.S. It says that the courts sought for a stringent written description for biotechnology inventions compared to other fields. According to the author, the past decade has been challenging for biotechnology because patent cases have made it hard to obtain wider protection to which the industry had been accustomed. The difficult requirements for patents are also discussed including novelty and written description.
