UPCOMING EVENTS
PATENTING INVENTIONS IN THE CLINICAL PHASE
- Date: Wednesday 21 May 2025, 12:00 (BST) / 13:00 (CET)
- Location: Online
- Speakers: Pippa Hothersall and Helen Bartlett
This session will look at the considerations for IP and patent strategy for companies with products in the pre-clinical and clinical phases. We will cover reasons to develop an IP strategy extending beyond just “products per se”, how to spot inventions in the pre-clinical and clinical phases, and our tips and tricks for success.
Key takeaways will include:
- Why patenting inventions in the pre-clinical and clinical phases of development is important for your commercial strategy.
- How you can spot and protect inventions during this period (both using patents and other forms of IP).
- How to present your IP strategy to maximise investment opportunities during this phase.
ANTIBODIES AND CELL THERAPIES UNLEASHED
- Date: Wednesday 28 May 2025, 12:00 (BST) / 13:00 (CET)
- Location: Online
- Speakers: Tom Harding and Kevin Rich
Are broad antibody claims a thing of the past? Must you include the CDRs, or can you direct claims to an epitope? Does the same apply to related molecules like Chimeric Antigen Receptors?
One way to find out more is to join us for this exciting webinar on sticky immunology.
THE ROLE OF R&D IN YOUR PATENTING PROCESS AND VICE VERSA
- Date: 4 June 2025, 11:45 - 13:00
- Location: Bistro Merge, The Spark, Medicon Village, Scheeletorget 1, Lund
- Speakers: Tom Harding, Pippa Hothersall and Helen Bartlett
This session looks in detail at patents and the patenting process, including spotting potentially patentable inventions and generating enough supporting data. Potter Clarkson will also discuss the relevance of third-party patents and common patenting mistakes. This session is particularly relevant to those working in R&D functions.
Key takeaways will include:
- Recognising novel and patentable aspects within research outputs
- The role of R&D professionals in supporting the patenting process, including when collaborating with third parties
- Typical mistakes in R&D patent strategy and how to prevent them
