ACI’s 21st Advanced Summit on Life Sciences Patents returns to New York City, this May. Join us as we provide practical insights on how to maximize patent term and enhance global protections for your patent portfolio.

Effectively and strategically prosecuting patents is critical to business. In the face of district court litigations, inter-partes review and post-grant proceedings, a granted patent, no matter its content and history, remains vulnerable to attack. Therefore, learning how to better prepare patent portfolios by keeping future litigation concerns in mind at the prosecution stage is mission critical and our faculty of global thought leaders will help you develop forward-thinking strategies through our sophisticated and practical workshops and panels.

The carefully crafted modules will help attendees navigate international developments in life sciences patent law as they impact your global patent prosecution strategy, from the new Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court in Europe, Safe Harbor exemptions around the world, or the role of AI as an inventor.

Equally, as we enter an era of increased biotech innovation and transformation, this advanced summit will help you examine recent life sciences IP controversies and patent rights with new technologies such as mRNA, CAR T and CRISPR. Securing IP rights to these technologies and leveraging or licensing these rights appropriately is essential to successful commercialization, growth, and future development of these innovations.

This May, join the “who’s who” of the global pharmaceutical, biotech and medtech industries as they gather in person for ACI’s 21st Advanced Summit on Life Sciences Patents, and learn how to thrive in increasingly challenging and globalized times.
