About this talk

Personalised healthcare (sometimes referred to as precision medicine) is an evolving field in medicine where a therapeutic treatment is tailored to an individual with a particular disease. The patenting of personalised healthcare inventions has proved problematic in a number of jurisdictions, most notably the USA. However, various aspects of these inventions are patentable in Europe. This webinar will set the scene as to what personalised healthcare is and will run through the history of second medical use patenting in Europe. Discussing key cases such as G5/83, T1020/03 and G2/08. It will then focus on how second medical use patenting can be applied to personalised healthcare inventions and will give examples of claim language that is finding favour at the EPO.
