| Source: Wolf Greenfield
BOSTON, MA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 9, 2007 -- The US Supreme Court today ruled for MedImmune
in its case against Genentech, in a key biotech patent case.
The Supreme Court reversed the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
and sent the case back to the lower courts. The decision affects broad
issues in patent licensing and allows MedImmune to challenge the validity
and scope of the specific biotech patent at hand.
Michael T. Siekman, a biotech IP expert who has been following this case
since the late 1990s with Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks, P.C., an intellectual
property law firm in Boston, can offer expert independent commentary on
this landmark case.
