Lab to Impact: How a Supreme Court Ruling Impacts Patents
2025-01-23 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Online Webinar
Are you an inventor or entrepreneur that has patent applications? The rules of the game just changed.

A recent Supreme Court ruling has put a spotlight on the enablement requirement—a critical, but often overlooked, aspect of patenting. What is the enablement requirement? It is the need for patents to clearly and fully explain how to make and use the invention, ensuring the claims are understandable and replicable by others in the field.

Now, patents must fully explain the scope of their claims and innovators with CTL must adjust their strategies accordingly.

Join us for an insightful webinar with Yvonne Shyntum, Partner at Pabst Patent Group, where you’ll gain practical insights into the ruling and how to stay ahead in this evolving landscape.

What you’ll learn:

What the Supreme Court’s new interpretation of enablement means for your patents.
Practical strategies for crafting strong, compliant patent applications.
Insights from a seasoned expert in biotechnology and pharmaceutical patents.

About the speaker: Dr. Yvonne Shyntum is a leading IP attorney with extensive experience in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors.
About the Host: Dr. Gene Masters directly with Cornell innovators in protecting their IP on behalf of Cornell and is a registered patent attorney with extensive expertise in patent filings in the life sciences innovation.

Don’t miss this learning opportunity on future-proof your patents (RSVP)
