This lecture will provide a guide through key considerations relating to patent drafting in the biotech area. It will discuss appropriate claim forms for common types of invention, the impact of specific issues of patentability on various biological technologies, and address commonly occurring problems in major jurisdictions. It will also consider how key recent decisions impact upon patentability in this field, and look at approaches that can be used to address these when drafting. It should be of particular interest to those starting out, or in the early stages of, a career in this area of the patent profession, while also providing information of relevance to more experienced practitioners.
