6 Intellectual Property What can be protected? Other Inside knowledge Reputation Know-how Copyright Trade secrets Music Typefaces Photographs Documentation Films Trade names Slogans Logos Software New technologies Get-up Product shapes Concept designs Technical innovations Trade marks Packaging Manufacturing processes Designs Patents
7 What is a patent? A legal document Monopoly right granted by the state for an idea which is: New Inventive Industrially applicable Not excluded Biotechnology: Exclusions Duration of 20 years (maximum) Available for both incremental developments and revolutionary technologies
8 What is excluded? Any Scientific theories / discoveries and mathematical methods Aesthetic creations including literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works Methods of performing mental acts including methods of playing games / business methods and computer programs Presentation of information as such Any method of surgery, diagnosis or therapy Excludes the amelioration of diseases or disorders vaccinations are excluded Does not exclude cosmetic treatments (so long as they do not fall under surgery ) Does not exclude analysis/treatment of matter outside the body (eg method of testing blood samples may be patentable as long as the blood is not returned to the body afterwards) To fall under a method of diagnosis, a method must include every step of diagnosis
9 Is it patentable? A method of piercing ears? Yes cosmetic treatments are not excluded so long as they do not fall under surgery Surgery substantial physical interventions on the body which require professional medical expertise to be carried out and which entail a substantial health risk Invasive techniques of a routine character which are performed on uncritical body parts and are generally carried out in a nonmedical, commercial environment are not excluded US
10 Biotechnology exclusions The human body, at the various stages of its formation and development, and the simple discovery of one of its elements, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene An element isolated from the human body or otherwise produced by means of a technical process, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene, may constitute a patentable invention must be industrially applicable Processes for cloning human beings Processes for modifying the germ line genetic identity of human beings Uses of human embryos for industrial or commercial purposes
11 Biotechnology exclusions Processes for modifying the genetic identity of animals which are likely to cause then suffering without any substantial medical benefit to man or animal, and also animals resulting from such processes Any variety of animal or plant or any essentially biological process for the production of animals or plants, not being a micro-biological or other technical process or the product of such a process may be patentable if the technical feasibility of the invention is not confined to a particular plant or animal variety Essentially biological processes for the production of plants and animals which are not micro-biological For example introducing a gene so that the introduction of a specific trait is not the result of mixing of genes chosen for sexual crossing
12 Is it patentable? A method of culturing yeast? Yes - Any variety of animal or plant or any essentially biological process for the production of animals or plants is excluded, not being a micro-biological or other technical process or the product of such a process Also (for interest) plant cells as such, which with modern technology can be cultured much like bacteria and yeasts, could not be considered to fall under the definition of a plant or of a plant variety. Plant cells should be treated like microorganisms.
13 Why have a patent? Incentive to invent: Some inventions (e.g. new pharmaceuticals) take years to develop, often at very high expense Patents are crucial to protecting market position Primary asset of early stage companies Promotes dissemination of information: Patent applications are published Sufficiency of disclosure The patent system secured to the inventor for a limited time exclusive use of his inventions, and thereby added the fuel of interest to the fire of genius in the discovery and production of new and useful things Abraham Lincoln
