This course will examine some of the issues encountered frequently (and sometimes uniquely) in the application of patent law to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Particular attention will be given to the legal and policy issues in connection with the disclosure and scope of patents. In addition to a caselaw survey approach, pharmaceutical/biotechnology cases and issues pending in the courts and of particular concern in industry will be studied. In lieu of a final exam, students will choose 3 classes for which to prepare short (5-7 page) papers on the cases/materials addressed in those classes.
