McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP partner Dr. Kevin E. Noonan authored an article entitled, “Patent Docs: BIO International Convention wrap-up” that appears in the July 2015 online edition of DDNEWS. The Biotechnology Industry Organization (for now, at least; more on that later), or BIO, held its 2015 BIO International Convention in Philadelphia June 15-18, with more than 15,000 attendees and in excess of 1,700 exhibitors in the exhibit hall. Along with many special programs, such as the Biotechnology Entrepreneurship Boot Camp, the convention provided dozens of educational tracks and panel discussions, directed to nearly 20 topic areas that included infectious diseases, intellectual property, next-generation biotherapeutics, oncology, orphan and rare diseases, personalized medicine and diagnostics, regulatory science and translational research. view the article
