On Tuesday, May 15, from 5:30 – 8 p.m., Boris Zelkind, Tom Arno, Brenden Gingrich, and Kerry Taylor, partners at Knobbe Martens Olson & Bear, will lead the Association of Corporate Counsel- San Diego (ACC-SD) Intellectual Property Roundtable. The discussion, titled “The Downstream Effects of Prometheus – How Will the Court’s Decision Impact Your Industry?,” will be hosted at Knobbe Martens’ San Diego office located at 12790 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA, 92130.
The discussion will be directed towards the Supreme Court’s recent holding in Prometheus, in which the Court held that a method of determining an optimal drug dosage was directed to laws of nature and not patentable. The discussion may explore: how this case fits in with the Court’s holding in Bilski; the decision’s likely impact on the medical, biotech, pharmaceutical, software, and other high-tech industries; and what it means for the future of § 101.
