Understanding the importance of an Organized Patent Portfolio

Image
Understanding the importance of an Organized Patent Portfolio Managing and commercializing hundreds of patents in an unorganized portfolio can be a tough job. To maximize the value of your portfolio, it is essential to understand or rather visualize: What’s in your portfolio? What’s in your competitors for portfolio? Commercialization opportunities Portfolio segmentation,  using multiple predefined parameters, helps in visualization of core and non-core patents, to make strategic licensing decisions about selling or buying of patents. Some parameters used for patent ranking are: Number of independent claims Inventive scope Number of citations Number of inventors Number of family members Legal status Remaining life of the patents IPC classification coverage Products covered /Industrial applicability Licensing potential Patent rankings  help to identify strong patents having commercial value (or associated products). This in-turn can be used for ...

New Era of Turkish Intellectual Property Law

Turkey has been waiting for decades to adopt a unified law on the protection of Intellectual property (IP) rights. With the new IP Law no. 6769, in force as of January 10th, 2017, this reformed IP law is the first of its kind, regulating, patents, trademarks, designs, and geographical indications under one umbrella. In this amendment, the IP Law changed the name of the Turkish Patent Institute to the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office; simplifies the proceedings; and adopts a better system for protection and enforcement of industrial property rights by recognizing co-existence agreements and consent letters for trademarks. The IP Law amendment offers incentives for inventors as well by offering better support for R&D activities, introduction of post grant opposition, expansion of compulsory license criteria, getting rid of unexamined patents, acknowledging traditional product names together with geographical indications. In another significant move, the competent authority i...

FDA’s Final Rule For Quicker Generic Approvals

Dr. D. C. Tayal, Ingenious e Brain Solutions, explores the implementation of US FDA’S new rule pertaining to laws that govern the submission and approval of AND A and 505b (2) applications, which maintains a balance between the generic drugs approval and acknowledging the innovation presented by brand name drugs. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced a significant change in the arena of pharmaceutical patents through its decision to revamp the rules pertaining to Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act (MMA), 2003. The new regulations – referred to as final rule – were published in the federal register on October 6, 2016, under the title “Abbreviated New Drug Applications and 505(b)(2) Applications”. These revised rules have been effective from December 5, 2016. The final rule published by FDA is an implementation of the part of the rules it proposed in February 2015.

Image
The Remark Can You Patent Your Invention is nowdays most askable question. The Idea is the First step towards the invention and undoubtedly, an inventor think about any invention only when they have any idea. The Journey between where you are now and where you want to be is same the journey between your idea and your Invention. The First step of this Journey is to understand what type of inventions and ideas are capable of patent. There are three types of Patent for which you can apply i.e. utility patents, design patents, or plant Patents. So, you need to understand your patent type for which you want to apply. After that, to determine if your idea can be patented, review the USPTO Office list of what can and cannot be patented which is also available online. Your Idea should be count as an invention if it is unique and not available in the USPTO List. There is a question which pops out in your mind that will it be useful or not?so, before going for patent ask yourse...

The CRISPR Dispute

The  CRISPR /Cas systems (clustered, regularly interspaced, short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated protein) represent a versatile tool for genome engineering, has been hailed as the “Breakthrough of the Year” for 2015, and rightfully so. The CRISPR/Cas originates from type II CRISPR/Cas systems, which provide bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity for defense against viruses and plasmids by cleaving its nucleic acid. Functional CRISPR/Cas loci comprise a CRISPR array of identical repeats intercalated with invader DNA-targeting spacers that encode the crRNA components and an operon of cas genes encoding the Cas protein components. CRISPR mediated immunity mainly occurs in three stages i.e. (i) insertion of a short sequence of the invading DNA as a spacer sequence into the CRISPR array; (ii) transcription of precursor crRNA (pre-crRNA) that undergoes maturation to generate individual crRNAs, each composed of a repeat portion and an invader targeting spacer portio...

Alzheimer's Breakthrough: Deciphering how it build up in brain so fast

Nearly 44 million people have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia and every 66 seconds in the US develops Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s or dementia, a chronic impairment of brain functions marked mainly by memory problems and behavioral changes with a huge impact on patients and families. Many multinational pharmaceutical companies have their drug candidates in clinical trials raising hopes that an effective treatment could be finally within reach. However, several decades of research, and hundreds of failed Alzheimer’s disease trials, including recent failure of Eli Lilly’s solanezumab, we still know very little about this disease and it has no cure. Now, a team of researchers at Cambridge University could be one step closer to a cure for Alzheimer's after discovering how a key process that triggers the disease takes place. The signature hallmark of the disease - the most common form of dementia - is the build-up of protein plaques in the brain. Scientists believe t...

Recent Digital Right Management Law – Chocking Creativity in India

In the last decade, India has observed a huge exponential growth in the internet and digital technologies which has unleashed vast opportunities for creation, production and distribution. With the advent of digital technology, now artists can more easily reach and understand audiences across the globe. The internet furthers innovation around professional content creation and distribution, and supports the growth of business models around professional creative works. Conversely, with the evolution of digital environment, the access, use, duplication or modification of the original work has become really simple. To add on, nowadays all the works can easily be digitalized, which then can be merged, transformed, manipulated or mixed to create an endless variety of new works. Thus making the rights of reproduction and distribution immaterial in this digital age. Digital environment has created a platform for piracy and uncontrolled proliferation of copyrighted works, posing serious threats ...

Shock & Kill- Hidden HIV Infection

Image
The key impediment to a cure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is the presence of latent, HIV-infected cells, which can come back and produce new viruses when antiretroviral drug therapy is stopped. These latent, HIV-infected cells remain untouched by antiretroviral therapy and are not recognized by our immune system. Recently, researchers at Blood Systems Research Institute (BSRI), the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Hawaii have reported that how a specific sugar coating on the surface of human cells affect the fate of the HIV that lies inside and might be helpful to eradicate the biggest fear of mankind. The path of finding the cure for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has always been hindered by a property of viral cells that allows it to quickly adapt to the host environment. This was due to the presence of latent viral cells which can come back and produce new virus when antiretroviral drug therapy is stopp...
