La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo. El embargo prohibiría la importación de petróleo ruso a la UE y también prohibiría a los buques europeos transportar petróleo ruso a otros lugares. Sin embargo, Hungría se opone al embargo al petróleo, lo que podría retrasar la aprobación del paquete de sanciones de la UE.

Biotech patents after_prometheus_les
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Mayo v. Prometheus that claims covering natural relationships and laws of nature, even if limited to particular contexts, are not patent-eligible. The Court found Prometheus' claims recited the natural relationships between drug metabolite levels and efficacy/toxicity, even though the claims included steps for drug administration and level determination. While applications of natural laws may be patentable, Prometheus' claims provided no inventive concept beyond the natural relationships themselves. The decision clarified that while patents encourage innovation, overbroad claims could preempt future research using natural laws.
Global & U.S. Patents for Digital Health Startups
Digital health is all around us and the health tech sector has been taking off like a rocket. Spurred by advancements in AI, ML, and mobile device tech combined with challenges brought on by everything from the needs of daily health monitoring to the challenges that came along with the pandemic. These worlds are colliding, innovation in the sector is exploding, and disruptive change to healthcare will only accelerate.
Amidst all of this massive growth, startups need to maximize their use of funding and protect their IP from being copied. Patents are the strongest form of protection against this and one of the best possible returns on investment.
At the most basic level, if your innovations drive your product and your business, it’s essential to develop a patent strategy that protects these innovations, increases your valuation, and extends your company’s longevity.
So, growth is incredible. Patents provide great protection and can yield incredible ROI. So what’s the problem?
Patent law and court rulings have been working in direct opposition to this growth, but there are some key strategies you can leverage to make the most of your funds while securing vital intellectual property.

Lec15 Patents and Intellectual Property
This document discusses several issues relating to patents and intellectual property:
- There is a tension between the norm of open scientific knowledge and the concept of intellectual property ownership.
- Employers and universities often claim ownership over intellectual property created by employees and students. Patent law varies by jurisdiction on this issue.
- Patents provide a limited monopoly on inventions in exchange for publicly disclosing details that allow others to replicate the work once the patent expires. However, critics argue the patent system does not always encourage innovation or serve the public interest.

This document discusses the case of Myriad Genetics and the controversy surrounding human gene patents. It provides background on gene patents and Myriad's patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The Association for Molecular Pathology sued Myriad, arguing the patents were invalid as products of nature. The court agreed the composition claims were directed to unpatentable natural phenomena, though it did not rule on constitutional questions. The document examines the conflicting ethical issues around gene patenting and licensing practices, and possible policy solutions like compulsory licensing or research exemptions.
Obtaining patentable claims after Prometheus and Myriad
The Supreme Court cases significantly changed what is patentable subject-matter in the U.S. But how broadly has the scope of patentable subject matter been narrowed by these decisions? Presentation analyzes major claim types in diagnostics and gene-type patents and whether they remain patentable under this new case law.
Ethics and the Law - Myriad Genetics
This document discusses the case of Myriad Genetics and the ethics around patenting human genes. It summarizes that Myriad Genetics holds patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes linked to breast cancer and faces criticism for aggressively enforcing these patents. The document also summarizes a key lawsuit where a court invalidated Myriad's gene patents, finding that isolated DNA is not patentable subject matter. The document discusses ongoing debates around the ethics, impacts on research and healthcare, and potential policy solutions regarding human gene patents.

Basics of Life Science Patent Law
The document discusses various forms of intellectual property protection including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Patents provide the strongest protection by giving owners the right to stop others from using their invention, but require public disclosure of how to practice the invention. Copyright and trademark protection have more limited scopes. Trade secrets do not require disclosure but can be lost if the secret becomes public. The document provides examples of intellectual property issues that commonly arise for biotech inventions and businesses.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentation
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Securing your intellectual property
- 1. SIR Conference April 2, 2016 Securing Your Intellectual Property Douglas B. Thompson Thompson Cooper
- 2. Search for your Idea • USPTO.gov – United States Patent Database • CIPO.gc.ca – Canadian Patent Database • Both sites include links to other online patent databases • An “ugly” part of the patenting process is that searching is often hit and miss
- 3. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE • Destroys rights in most countries and starts a 12 month time clock for protection in Canada and U.S. • Protect yourself with non-disclosure agreements • When non-disclosure agreements no longer practical file an “informal” or “provisional” patent application
- 4. Provisional Patent Filing • Better to file than to wish you had • Canada and the U.S. both allow you to file an “informal” or “provisional” patent application • You have 12 months to file a more formal patent application claiming priority from your original filing
- 5. U.S. Position on Intervention Radiology • CLASS 128, SURGERY • Methods of treatment of the living body and apparatus used in the inspection and treatment of diseases, wounds, and other abnormal conditions of the bodies of humans and lower animals.
- 6. Cdn Position on Intervention Radiology • Canadian Manual of Patent Office Practice (MOPOP) • A method of medical treatment is not patentable. Methods that involve performing surgery on the human or animal body are not patentable, whether the effect of the surgery is therapeutic or not. • Must focus, therefore, on medical devices and diagnostics
- 7. First to File • Patent system works on first to file • Cannot patent an invention disclosed by someone else before you filed • Prior patents and prior publications anywhere in the world are relevant
- 8. “Obviousness” • An invention that is new and useful, may still be rejected if the Patent Office views it as being “obvious” • An invention is “obvious” if it merely combines features that are can be found in two or more existing patents • An “ugly” part of the patent process involves dealing with disagreements as to what is and is not “obvious”
