Biotechnological inventions and the inventive step requirement in European Patent Law

Activity: Talk or presentation typesLecture and oral contribution

Timo Minssen - Lecturer

Timo’s presentation will summarize the most basic principles and recent European case law related to this crucial patentability requirement, which is often described as the “holy grail” of patent law. In particular, this presentation will highlight the importance of the refined “plausibility” approach for biotech-related patenting and discuss both EPO and national developments.
