Staking an advantage in an AIA world: Practical patent tips for biotechnology companies.
- Authors
Miller, Stefan M.
- Abstract
With passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), new rules and procedures related to the application of prior art now apply to patenting under a "first-inventor-to-file" system. This article summarizes certain key prior art provisions that biotechnology companies should be aware of and details practical steps that can be implemented to help stake a competitive advantage under the new law including the use of patent liaisons, early provisional and patent application filings, and in certain circumstances, defensive publication of patentable subject matter.
