Professor Janet Freilich will discuss how the patent system presents a roadblock to innovation in the life sciences.

The Maryland Law Review is excited to invite you to its upcoming virtual discussion series: Emerging Issues in Biotechnology: Health, Food, Environment, and Intellectual Property. Each Tuesday in February will encompass one of four facets of biotechnology: health, food, environment, and intellectual property. During the fourth week (intellectual property week), Professor Janet Freilich will discuss how the patent system affects follow-on research in the life sciences. Professor Freilich will explore exceptions to patent infringement that permit research that might otherwise be blocked by upstream patents. Professor Freilich will also explore what types of research are exempted from patent infringement and whether this provides the correct incentives for life sciences innovation.Professor Freilich is an Associate Professor of Law at Fordham Law School, where she teaches and writes on intellectual property, civil procedure, and patent law, with a focus on the life sciences. Prior to entering academia, Professor Freilich practiced at Covington &amp; Burling LLP as a patent litigator and prosecutor.
