JLABS Program Overview

Is your Innovation protected? Have you taken the reasonable & necessary steps to protect your intellectual property?

 

Intellectual property protection plays an important role in generating financial support for development of early stage innovation.  To help you understand how to protect your intellectual assets, an overview of the patent process will be followed by a focused discussion on how recent IP issues apply to the biotech/pharma sector.

 

Topics included:

·         A review of subject matter eligibility as it relates to life sciences. (i.e. patent coverage of diagnostics, immunotherapies, methods of treatment, etc.)

·         Recently issued USPTO guidelines.

·         Patent life cycle management including strategies to extend patent exclusivity beyond the expiration date of an initial compound patent.

 

Bring your questions!

Companies must have applied for a one-on-one meeting ahead of time and been approved. Applications are due June 11th, 2018.
