Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antibodies have revolutionized medicine and biotechnology, and have become indispensable tools in therapy, diagnostics, analytics, and research. Therapeutic antibodies, for example, have become firmly established in the ranks of blockbuster drugs, currently accounting for about half of the top 10 best-selling medicines. At the same time, a body of case law dealing specifically with the patentability of antibody-related inventions and the enforcement of antibody patents has emerged in major jurisdictions. The, at times, significant divergences between different jurisdictions have been compounded by recent decisions in the United States, which have severely curtailed the possibilities to obtain broad antibody patents. It is therefore essential to understand how antibody inventions are assessed in different jurisdictions in order to secure an optimal patent protection and to successfully enforce such patents. This book provides practitioners with a comprehensive resource elucidating all aspects of the patenting of antibodies from initial drafting and prosecution to enforcement, using a country-by-country format. The updated and expanded Second Edition covers more than 30 of the most important IP jurisdictions worldwide – i.e., the European Patent Office, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. The 49 contributors to this book, all distinguished experts in this field, provide clear and practice-oriented advice on a range of topics including: • Which types of antibody inventions are patent-eligible? • Which types of functional and structural features are accepted for claiming antibodies? • What needs to be considered when defining antibodies in terms of their antigen, target affinity, binding specificity, epitope, competitive binding and other characteristics in relation to reference antibodies, as well as their effects on the target? • Which pitfalls must be avoided when defining amino acid sequences, chemical modifications or glycosylation patterns, and when relying on cell line deposits? • Which breadth of claims is accepted for antibody inventions, and what experimental support is required? • Which specific medical applications of antibodies can be claimed? • How is inventive step assessed in the specific case of antibody inventions? • What has to be considered when enforcing antibody patents, including in relation to biosimilars as well as the doctrine of equivalence? All chapters follow the same structure, which makes this book easily accessible and allows a direct comparison between different jurisdictions. Practitioners will find the much-needed tools and guidance to secure the best possible patent protection for antibody inventions in more than 30 of the most important jurisdictions worldwide. This book is the fifth volume in the AIPPI Law Series which has been established together with the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), a non-affiliated, non-profit organization dedicated to improving and promoting the protection of intellectual property at both national and international levels.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antibodies have revolutionized medicine and biotechnology, and have become indispensable tools in therapy, diagnostics, analytics, and research. Therapeutic antibodies, for example, have come to dominate the ranks of blockbuster drugs, currently accounting for 10 out of the top 15 best-selling medicines. At the same time, a body of case law dealing specifically with the patentability of antibody-related inventions and the enforcement of antibody patents has emerged in major jurisdictions. The, at times, significant divergences between different jurisdictions have been compounded by recent decisions in the United States, most notably Amgen v. Sanofi, 872 F.3d 1367 (Fed. Cir. 2017), which have severely curtailed the possibilities to obtain broad antibody patents. It is therefore essential to understand how antibody inventions are assessed in different jurisdictions in order to secure an optimal patent protection and to successfully enforce such patents. This book provides practitioners with a comprehensive resource elucidating all aspects of the patenting of antibodies from initial drafting and prosecution to enforcement, using a country-by-country format.

This book was released on 1998-06-19 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The avenue consisting in lowering the non obviousness standard, chosen by the Federal Circuit in In re Deuel, is rejected in a detailed critic of the case. Several current examples of sui generis intellectual property rights are then described. A "no action" scenario is also examined, emphasizing that the rapid changes occurring in biotechnology might ultimately make the current problem obsolete. Finally, broader issues such as the growing secrecy in basic science are acknowledged, and linked to the disappearance of a clear distinction between basic and applied research.
Download or read book Antibody Patent Evolution written by Theodore Teng and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therapeutic antibodies in clinical medicine are become an important focus for the biotechnology industry. In 2021, four of the top six selling prescription drugs were monoclonal antibodies, leading to a reported revenue of over $67 billion dollars. Accordingly, it is no surprise that the patentability rules for antibody patents have become increasingly important to drug companies, health care providers, and consumers alike. In this paper we outline the evolution of antibody patents from broad genus type claims to narrow species type claims. In this paper we explain how the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has made this shift to catch up with the scientific changes in antibody technology. Additionally, we suggest how the USPTO could use the written description requirement and the reverse Doctrine of Equivalents to correctly limit the scope of antibody patents while still incentivizing the generation of new antibody therapies.

Download or read book Global Patent Protection and Enforcement of In Vitro Diagnostic Inventions written by Lisa Mueller and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all inventors, developers of in vitro medical diagnostic tests depend on patent protection that is enforceable against alleged infringers and ensures royalties and other payments. Due to recent United States (US) court decisions that have made the patentability of such tests untenable in the US, there is an expectation that patent applications for in vitro diagnostic inventions will increase in commercially important countries that provide broader protection. Accordingly, this book thoroughly describes the patentability requirements and enforcement challenges faced by in vitro diagnostic inventions in nine major worldwide markets, providing practical tips on how to overcome these challenges and build a globally enforceable patent portfolio for such inventions. For each of nine jurisdictions – Australia, Canada, China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa and the US – an author knowledgeable in the patent law of his or her country examines such elements as the following: subject matter eligibility; specific patentability hurdles; recent and relevant cases; specific issues relating to enforcement; and exceptions to infringement. Specific examples of types of claims (both immunohistochemistry and molecular in vitro diagnostics) are provided, along with tips for drafting and prosecuting applications and best practices for forestalling rejections based on subject matter eligibility and prior art. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive global examination of the patentability of in vitro diagnostic tests. The editor, a patent attorney globally known for her work with the pharmaceutical industry, has assembled a compendium of international expertise that will prove indispensable to patent practitioners (prosecution as well as litigation), corporate research teams, pharmaceutical and other companies and academics throughout the world.
