The Future of Patenting in Biomedicine: An In-Depth Look at the Effect of the Myriad Case on Gene Patenting and Genetic Diagnostics will address host of issues including:

• How to analyze diagnostic claims
• The significance of the “detecting” step with regard to novelty
• The relevance of any “mental steps” involved in patent claims
• What to expect from the Federal Circuit
• The significance of genetic methods as a subset of medical diagnostic claims
