    Event Summary
    Patent litigation remains prolific in the life sciences industry as ensuring protection becomes more challenging and complex due to the involvement of technologies. Some issues plaguing patent owners and intellectual property (IP) lawyers concern the Section 101 jurisprudence related to innovations in the life sciences industry. Moreover, landmark cases like Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi continue to shape the patent landscape, posing profound impacts on invention enablement. These and other developments continue to pose risks that practitioners should be wary of. Canadian jurisprudence deals with similar issues and in some cases, patent practice diverges between the US and Canada.

Noonan, Ph.D. (McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP) provide a comprehensive discussion of the latest trends and challenges in protecting patents in the life science sector.
