Strong patents are even more important in the life science space where a product is covered by a relatively small number of core patents and a very long R&D period is required prior to launching a product in the market.  This lecture will go through how a patent portfolio can be and should be aligned with business activities including from R&D to marketing in life science space and provide a case study of a blockbuster drug.

The lecture will take place on July 11th, 2019 at 12:00 PM at Sughrue's Washington, D.C. Office (9th floor).
