Patent-Eligibility of Life Science Innovations: How to Improve the Chance of Patents
|
Date:
20 April 2016 (Wed 10:30 am to 12:00 noon)
|
|
Venue:
Room 1403, SCI/HOME (Lifts 25-26) |
|
Organized By:
co-organized by Technology Transfer Center (TTC) and School of Science (SSCI) |
Value drivers for medical innovations include such things as validating clinical data, regulatory approval, and, of course, patent exclusivity in addition to improved patient outcomes and cost savings. In recent years, U.S. Supreme Court decisions have upset fundamental assumptions about the types of life science innovations that are eligible for patent protection. These decisions have changed the landscape for patent-eligibility as it relates to natural products, personalized medicine, and other innovations in the life sciences. Patent claims that were thought to pass muster are now being labeled “laws of nature, natural phenomena, and abstract ideas” and, thus, patent-ineligible.

The Critical Role the Scientist Plays in the Commercialisation of IP
|
Date:
7 March 2016 (Monday 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm)
|
|
Venue:
Room 5619 (5/F, Lifts 31-32) |
|
Organized By:
Technology Transfer Center (TTC) |
Many ground-breaking technologies influencing each and every one of us begin in a research and development laboratory. But scientists don’t just invent or create the intellectual property (IP), they play a critical role in its commercialisation, including making the difference between commercialisation occurring, or not occurring. Their parts go beyond just about financial return, they also help increase the chance of successful commercialisation.
In this seminar, Prof. Philip Mendes will share some of his experiences about scientists contributing to commercialisation, and how they do so without sacrificing other things that are important to them, such as publications.
