The Evolving Provenance of Obviousness-type Double Patenting (Live MBHB Webinar)

Tues., March 19, 2019 | 10:00-11:15 a.m. CT | Live MBHB Webinar via WebEx

Obviousness-type double patenting (“ODP”) is a judicially created doctrine that seeks to prevent patent owners from extending patent protection beyond the statutorily afforded term. This webinar will explore the evolving provenance of obviousness-type double patenting in addressing the following topics:

• Traditional confines of the doctrine
• Federal Circuit expansion in Sun Pharma and Gilead
• Retrenchment in Breckenridge Pharma and Ezra Ventures
• Future prospects

Presenter: MBHB partners Kevin Noonan, Ph.D. and Sarah Fendrick, Ph.D.
