BIOTECHNOLOGY AND THE LAW

The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law
Tucson, Arizona & Quarles & Brady Streich Lang Distinguished Intellectual Property Forum: The Federal Circuit recently narrowed the concept of the “experimental use” defense in patent law to make clear that it applied to all non-commercial work undertaken to further the legitimate interests of the user. LEADING U.S. PATENT SCHOLAR, PROFESSOR ROCHELLE DREYFUSS will discuss the implications of this development for the production of fundamental science, especially biotechnology (and computer science). For universities, the contours of the “experimental use” defense is particularly critical given the increasing importance to their work of commercial imperatives and private-sector collaborations.
