Overcoming Sections 101,102, 103 Conundrum for Biotech and Chemical Patents: Practical Guide in 2020
Overview:
In recent years, the hope on solving the patent eligibility conundrum is still up in the air. Precedential decisions interpreting and applying Section 101 from both the Supreme Court and the Federal Circuit created tangled patent eligibility rulings that have limited the ability to patent certain technologies. In connection with this, earlier this year, the members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, along with members of the House, have produced a draft bill that will revise 35 U.S.C. Section 101. However, this draft bill is not yet available for there are still a lot of details to be discussed, and the proposed legislation is still to be determined. A mutual effort to produce a consistent subject matter eligibility framework is both an achievement and a raising opportunity for the year ahead.

About White & Case
White & Case helps clients navigate the antitrust issues presented by the assertion of patent rights and represents both plaintiffs and defendants in such matters. We know the issues at the intersection of antitrust and intellectual property law, and our teams are staffed to include both antitrust and IP lawyers who collaborate across disciplines. These trial-ready interdisciplinary teams collaborate seamlessly, handling disputes and resolving challenges for our clients. We excel at taking the complex and making it simpler and understandable for judge and jury.
Both patent cases and antitrust cases including patent assertion typically involve highly complex issues ? both legal and technology issues. White & Case has an unprecedented track record of trial victories in complex antitrust cases. Our philosophy is that defendants too often settle these cases by agreeing to pay exorbitant settlements. While our past successes and trial-oriented preparations often allow us to achieve favorable settlements for our clients, we begin preparing for trial from day one and do not hesitate to take cases to the mat when necessary.
