Patent Strategies in Biotechnology

Innovation in biotechnology is progressively increasing with its importance in scientific developments and commercial products. It is important for researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals in the areas of life sciences, pharmaceuticals, and their related industries to understand how these innovations are protected by patents.
This is a structured course designed to introduce biotechnology newcomers to the basics of patents. Including patentability criteria, it also opens up to disclosure of application processes, legal frameworks, and ethical considerations. Participants will be taught about intellectual property rights, different types of patents, and how to relate them to biotechnological inventions.Challenges related to patent filling, enforcement, and commercialization are reflected and deliberated based on practical insights in the course.
If you are a researcher wanting to protect inventions, a practitioner of IP law desiring a deeper understanding of patents, or an entrepreneur looking for a better familiarity with the biotech sector, this course will give you the foundational knowledge and insights into understanding cases of patents in biotechnology.
By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with a clear view of the role that patents play in biotechnology as well as the procedure for the protection of intellectual property. There are no pre-requirements for any knowledge of law.
