In view of the U.S. approval process for biosimilars, companies are gearing up to either produce their own biosimilar products, or to defend against their entry onto the market. While the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA) spells out many of the requirements, the pathway for approval is complicated. Our panel of experts discuss the features of the BPCIA and how it operates for both approved biologics as well as biosimilar entrants. They also make some predictions on its impact for life science companies.
The webinar is 60 minutes, complete with Q&A.

In this month's podcast episode, we’re talking about claims – the fundamental building blocks of a patent. There simply is not a more important concept to grasp in all of patenting. As a former chief justice of the Federal Circuit once famously said, “The name of the game is the claim.” And in terms of what game you’re playing, the claims are where you separate the patents playing checkers from the patents playing chess.
This is where your patent practitioner earns their money and as you’ll learn today, also where the mostly costly mistakes can be born. As David Cohen, a Patently Strategic regular, has said in the past, "Ninety percent of the mental exercise in drafting patents is in the strategy of looking around corners, anticipating the future, and trying to capture as many would-be infringers as possible.” How your claims are crafted is literally the difference between a patent being an intellectual asset and a worthless stack of paper.
In this month’s episode, Ty Davis, Patent Strategy Associate here at Aurora, leads a discussion, along with our all star patent panel, delving deeply into:
⦿ Claim fundamentals
⦿ Claim drafting strategies
⦿ How to think about claims in the context of infringement
⦿ And in the game of patenting, how to move like a queen, so you’re not treated like a pawn.
Ty is joined by our always exceptional group of IP experts, including:
⦿ Dr. Ashley Sloat, President and Director of Patent Strategy at Aurora
⦿ Kristen Hansen, Patent Strategist at Aurora
⦿ Dr. David Jackrel, President of Jackrel Consulting

Provisional Patent Applications,The Good, The Bad, and the UglyKevin E. Flynn
United States Provisional Patent Applications offer an alternative to starting with a non-provisional utility application. To use this tool appropriately, one must know what has to be in the provisional application, what informalities are tolerable, and how the provisional application fits into the patent process.

Patent Examination and Pre-Grant Opposition are independent processes, says t...BananaIP Counsels
In an appeal filed by Novartis from the decision of a Single Judge, the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court considered if a pre-grant opponent would have the right to participate and get a hearing with respect to amendments made by the patent applicant based on directions of the Controller of Patents. The pre-grant oppositions in the case were filed by NATCO and several others, and the Single Judge held that pre-grant opponents have to be heard with respect to all amendments as the patent examination and pre-grant opposition processes merge once a representation is accepted by the Controller. Disagreeing with the Single Judge, the Division Bench held that patent examination and pre-grant opposition are independent and separate processes.
If you have any questions, speak with a Patent expert/attorney – contact@bananaip.com or 91-80-26860414/24/34.
In the case of Huhtamaki Oyj And Anr Vs Controller Of Patents at the Delhi High Court, a significant development has transpired. The focus was on a Polymer Technology patent application titled “An Essentially Biobased Thermoformable Composition And Containers Formed Thereof”.
The application had encountered objections concerning its inventive step and non-patentability. The Court highlighted the need for a thorough examination in the decision-making process.
After detailed reconsideration, it's confirmed that the patent was granted on 26th July 2023. This case emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive examination in the patent granting process and the resilience necessary from applicants.

Indian Intellectual Property Cases Report, 2021.pdfBananaIP Counsels
BananaIP is happy to launch the IP Cases Report for the year 2021. This report covers cases related to intellectual property decided by Courts in India, in the form of case notes. These case notes cover important decisions on critical questions of law and fact with respect to various species of intellectual property.
INDIAN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STATISTICS REPORT, 2021BananaIP Counsels
BananaIP is happy to launch the IP statistics report for the year 2021. This report covers Patent, Trademark, Design, Copyright and Geographical Indication (GI) statistics based on information available on the website of the Indian IP Office. Wherever relevant, a comparative review with previous years has been presented in the report.
Findings and Conclusions
At a general level, intellectual property activity before the IP Office increased notably in 2021 compared to the previous year. While Patent, Copyright, Trademark, and GI filings saw an increase in numbers, the number of Design filings dropped during the year.
The conclusion of the report reads as follows:
"To conclude, we observed an overall increase in the IP Statistics in 2021. In the year 2021 number of patents published increased by 2%, the number of trademarks filed increased by 13.78%, the number of copyrights filed increased by 29.71% and the number of geographical indications filed increased by 49.01%. We also observed that the number of patents granted increased by 15.66%, trademarks registered increased by 33.96%, and geographical indications registered increased by 560% in 2021. However, the number of designs registered decreased by 17.54%."
Statistics as Indicators
Intellectual Property statistics have since long been used as indicators of intellectual activity, and the findings of this report signify an increase in innovative and creative activity in India despite the pandemic. The numbers also indicate the importance being given to IP protection in the Indian market by both Indian and foreign organisations.
Talking about the report, Dr. Kalyan C. Kankanala stated, "IP filings in India have been steadily increasing since 2014, and the increase in 2021 is not surprising. What is interesting is the fact that patent, trademark, and other IP filings increased despite the negative consequences of COVID-19.
The increase in numbers is in sync with increased enforcement, licensing, and litigation.
Over the last decade, we have seen a significant transformation in the IP ecosystem in India, and I can today state with confidence that we are no longer a nation that views IP with circumspection."
Attribution
The report was the result of contributions from consulting/strategy, patent, copyright, and trademark departments of BananaIP Counsels.
In this presentation, we bring to you a recap of the IP statistics from 2021 and a comparison of these numbers with the statistics from 2019 and 2020. The data is calculated for the respective calendar years (January to December). It will be different from the data published by the respective offices as they calculate the data for the respective financial year.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

curtains is that you will not need curtain rings to open and
close the curtains. The curtains come with loops made of silk,
which can be looped over a curtain rod of any shape. They

Product 3
XYZ Tech sells wireless curtains imported from USA. The curtains can be
opened and closed using an App on a cell phone. The App comes with a
slider that allows a user to control the extent to which a curtain needs to be
opened or closed. The App interacts with a wireless receiver on the curtain
rod, which activates and moves the pulley mechanism in the requisite
direction based on user inputs.
