Intellectual property and the bio revolution

An University of Oxford CPD Centre product story
Edited by the Laboratorytalk editorial team Aug 7, 2006

The University of Oxford has released dates for its forthcoming course Genes, Clones and Patents - Intellectual Property and the Biological Revolution - on 18-20 September 2006

Led by Michael Yudkin, emeritus professor of biochemistry, University of Oxford, this course is aimed at those working in the intellectual property departments of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, patent agents and patent lawyers, both from the UK and from elsewhere in Europe, research biologists with an interest in the legal consequences of developments in modern biology and those interested in financing and developing biotechnological industries.

The course is an introduction to modern developments in molecular biology and genetic engineering and a discussion of recent developments in the law of patents.

The scientific sessions consider DNA and its replication and expression in both bacteria and higher cells; regulation, differentiation and development; cloning; genetic libraries and screening techniques; and characterizing and altering cloned DNA.

The legal sessions focus on various aspects of patent law in the field of biotechnology, particularly following the judgment in the Kirin-Amgen v TKT case.
