Abstract
Filing and Defending Patents in Different Jurisdictions
Abstract:
In order to build an effective patent portfolio, an organization must (1) understand the dynamics of the international patent landscape: how to establish foreign priority, where to file patent applications, and the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing various filing options; (2) determine in which countries and/or jurisdictions the organization should seek patent protection based on its objectives (whether commercial or humanitarian access); and (3) anticipate the possibility of litigation and know what its options for litigation are.
