What a Patent Is and Is Not
• Novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability as the three tests
• Territoriality, the twenty-year term and the right to exclude rather than practise
• Patents against trade secrets, and when disclosure is the wrong choice
Biotechnology-Specific Limits
• Section 3(j) and 3(b) exclusions under the Indian Patents Act
• Diamond v. Chakrabarty and Myriad as the boundary cases on living matter
• Isolated sequences, diagnostics and the divergence between India, the US and the EPO
Specification and Claims
• Independent and dependent claims and the scope-against-validity trade-off
• Enablement, written description and sufficiency of disclosure
• Budapest Treaty deposits for biological material that cannot be described
Filing and Searching
• Provisional and complete specifications and the priority date that follows
• PCT national phase strategy and its cost profile
• Prior art searching in Espacenet, Patentscope and InPASS, and publication as a bar
Using the Right
• Freedom-to-operate analysis, which is distinct from patentability
• Licensing, assignment and university technology transfer practice
• Compulsory licensing, Bolar exemption and access considerations
