Patents Patenting Strategy - Patent Licensing and Valuation

Patents & Patenting Strategy

Biotechnology research is capital intensive and requires considerable time and development before the return on the investment is obtained. Adequate protection of the research results by the filing of patents is a key strategic issue since an issued patent affords a 20-year period of exclusivity to practice or use the invention. This is especially important for public research organizations which, by pursuing patent protection, can offer a commercial company the exclusive rights to their innovation and the incentive to invest in product development.
