How will today's biotechnological inventions withstand the sea of change in intellectual property law? Most likely, the answer will vary from one invention to the next – according to which side of the litigation it falls on. Repercussions from recent patent cases in the different jurisdictions continue to be felt in a variety of ways. But for biotech patents, the movement has yet to crystallise into definitive guidelines issued by the courts. The concern is that changes in patent law may ultimately come at the expense of innovation within the industry. Thus, the paper aims at the proper understanding of the latest trends in biotech patents. |
