Novelty in the fields of chemistry, pharmacy and biotechnology

The patenting seminars on novelty will focus on advanced challenges encountered when assessing the novelty of an invention in the following fields: 

• The first seminar of this series will address assessing the novelty of particular chemical compounds: for example, optical isomers, extraction of naturally occurring substances and purity.
   

• The second seminar will focus on novelty challenges that arise in the context of biotechnological inventions:    novelty of antibodies, commercial availability, novelty of biological material and enabling disclosure.
   

• The third seminar will focus on the pharmaceutical field: the meaning of “specific use”, patient groups, mechanism of action and clinical situations, and clinical trails.

   

The first session of each seminar is open to patent attorneys and patent examiners. The second session is for patent examiners only.
