He is a regular speaker at international conferences, where he speaks on a wide variety of topics, including IP protection in life sciences, pharma patents, SPC’s, regulatory exclusivities in life science, IP issues relating to software and artificial intelligence, patent protection for plants and plant variety rights systems.
In the September 2021 webinar series, Dr. Sven Bostyn will give an exclusive three-part crash-course on patents for New Breeding Techniques and plant related inventions (Sept 9, 16 & 30).
Webinar Syllabus: The first webinar in the CIOPORA Academy series 3/2021 will explain the types of patents you can obtain (or be confronted with) in the context of New Breeding Techniques (NBTs). We will look at the various types (products, processes), the patentability requirements, the scope of protection, and how these patents can be enforced.
Please note that some content of this session might be continued during the second part of the series on Sept.16.
