IP Protection of Biological Inventions

The workshop, organized in cooperation with the Faculty of Law of the University of Basel on November 10, 2016 in Basel, will be of particular interest to academics and practitioners involved in IP matters that focus on biological inventions. The topics discussed will range from obtaining patents on biological material to legal aspects of deposits under the Budapest Treaty and equivalent national law provisions to the scope of protection for patents on biological inventions.

The detailed program is available here (updated Oct 18, 2016).  

We would also like to draw your attention to the international conference organized by the FORUM Institut: “Access and Benefit Sharing” that will be held in Basel on November 8 and 9, 2016, just before our workshop. It will cover the most topical issues in access to genetic resources and benefit sharing. Case studies and expert panels will enable you to find solutions for implementing the Nagoya Protocol. The meeting will bring together representatives from all fields of practice.
