{"product_id":"intellectual-property-in-molecular-medicine-salim-mamajiwalla-9781621820833","title":"Intellectual Property in Molecular Medicine","description":"Patents are an important way of protecting inventions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. However, intellectual property law reforms have not kept pace with the rapid advances in genomics, synthetic biology, and stem cell research. Meanwhile, universities are increasingly spinning off companies that use these technologies, requiring the academic scientists involved to gain an understanding of intellectual property law and the patent system as it applies to biomedical innovations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection from \u003cem\u003eCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e aims to provide a clear, current, and comprehensive understanding of biomedical intellectual property and the laws that protect it. The contributors describe patent laws and practices in the United States, Canada, Australia, and the European Union. They explain the roles of regulatory agencies in intellectual property, various opinions on the patentability of biological materials (e.g., DNA and stem cells), and the implications of recent court decisions (e.g., the \u003cem\u003eMyriad\u003c\/em\u003e case). Practical issues related to licensing agreements and patent applications are also discussed. The authors offer guidance on the criteria for patent eligibility (e.g., utility, nonobviousness, and novelty), issues related to timing and possession, and rules for determining inventorship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOther topics include trade secrets, research exemptions, and the protection of traditional knowledge related to biological resources. This volume will serve as an essential reference for all scientists, physicians, and technology transfer professionals seeking to navigate the complex rules, regulations, and procedures concerning intellectual property in biotech and pharma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Salim Mamajiwalla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1621820831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781621820833\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.15h x 7.72w x 0.72d","brand":"Salim Mamajiwalla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44254984306943,"sku":"9781621820833","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c70c9a62-ac26-48bb-a25a-4c5955c597fa.jpg?v=1694615447","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/intellectual-property-in-molecular-medicine-salim-mamajiwalla-9781621820833","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
