Abstract
The IP landscape is a changeable and a potentially complex field, especially in relation to inventions in the field of stem cell technology. However, it need not be and there are simple points to understand which enable a clear path to be followed. The IP situation in Europe is under review and whatever the outcome of this process, interested parties need to be ready to adapt business strategies accordingly. Nick's presentation will focus on successful, cost-effective patenting strategies under the current law and with a view to the outcome of the review in Europe.
