This workshop is sponsored by the CBW.

OBJECTIVES

Patenting biotechnological inventions, including medicines, recombinant DNA, diagnostic and therapeutic sequences, and agriculturally useful sequences, is a growing industry. Whether you are working on patentable biotechnology, or wish to determine your freedom to operate in a specific field, at some point you will need to search patent databases to determine the scope of protection available. There are a number of free-to-use patent sequence and chemical databases that can provide the information you require without paying large subscription fees.

Lead Faculty (2012): Jennifer McDowall and Louisa Bellis (European Bioinformatics Institute)
