Due to recent United States (US) court decisions that have made the patentability of such tests untenable in the US, there is an expectation that patent applications for\u003cem\u003e in vitro \u003c\/em\u003ediagnostic inventions will increase in commercially important countries that provide broader protection. Accordingly, this book thoroughly describes the patentability requirements and enforcement challenges faced by\u003cem\u003e in vitro\u003c\/em\u003e diagnostic inventions in nine major worldwide markets, providing practical tips on how to overcome these challenges and build a globally enforceable patent portfolio for such inventions.\u003cbr\u003e For each of nine jurisdictions - Australia, Canada, China, the European Union, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa and the US - an author knowledgeable in the patent law of his or her country examines such elements as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003esubject matter eligibility;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003especific patentability hurdles;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erecent and relevant cases;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003especific issues relating to enforcement; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eexceptions to infringement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eSpecific examples of types of claims (both immunohistochemistry and molecular \u003cem\u003ein vitro\u003c\/em\u003e diagnostics) are provided, along with tips for drafting and prosecuting applications and best practices for forestalling rejections based on subject matter eligibility and prior art.\u003cbr\u003e This book is the first to provide a comprehensive global examination of the patentability of\u003cem\u003e in vitro\u003c\/em\u003e diagnostic tests.
