This workflow is applicable across multiple practice areas and use cases

Patent summaries are essential for IP litigation attorneys handling biotechnology patent infringement cases, validity challenges, and CRISPR patent disputes requiring detailed technical and legal analysis.

The workflow explicitly targets IP litigation attorneys in biotech disputes and includes litigation filings as optional documents, making it directly applicable to patent litigation practice.

Patent portfolio analysis is critical during M&A due diligence for biotechnology companies to assess IP asset value, identify litigation risks, and evaluate competitive positioning.

C-suite executives and business development teams use these summaries for portfolio decisions and licensing evaluations, which are core components of biotech M&A transactions.

VC and PE investors require comprehensive patent landscape analysis to evaluate biotechnology investment opportunities, assess IP protection strength, and identify potential patent disputes that could impact valuation.

Patent portfolios are critical assets in biotech companies, and investors need detailed IP intelligence to make informed investment decisions and negotiate deal terms.

Patent summaries help FDA regulatory attorneys navigate biologics and gene therapy patent landscapes to advise on regulatory exclusivity strategies and biosimilar development pathways.

The workflow covers biologics and gene therapy IP, which intersect with FDA regulatory frameworks including patent term extensions, orphan drug exclusivity, and biosimilar approval processes.

Frequently asked questions

Q

How does CaseMark handle complex biotechnology patent claims?

A

CaseMark analyzes patent claims by extracting key limitations, translating technical terminology into accessible language, and comparing claim scope against prior art and accused products. The AI identifies critical issues like enablement concerns for genus claims, written description adequacy for antibody patents, and patent eligibility under Mayo/Alice standards. You receive both detailed technical analysis and executive-level summaries suitable for strategic decision-making.

Q

Can this tool analyze both patent filings and litigation disputes?

A

Yes, CaseMark processes both patent prosecution documents and litigation filings. For patent applications, it analyzes claims, specifications, and prosecution history to assess scope and validity. For disputes, it summarizes infringement contentions, invalidity defenses, claim construction positions, and procedural status. The tool integrates both perspectives to provide comprehensive IP landscape intelligence for strategic planning.

Q

What types of biotechnology patents can be analyzed?

A

CaseMark handles the full spectrum of biotechnology innovations including monoclonal antibodies, gene therapies, CRISPR technologies, recombinant proteins, diagnostic biomarkers, cell therapies, nucleic acid sequences, and platform technologies. The AI recognizes domain-specific legal issues like antibody genus claims, diagnostic method eligibility, and biologics-specific regulatory exclusivity that complement patent protection.

Q

How accurate is the patent validity and infringement analysis?

A

CaseMark applies established legal frameworks including claim construction principles, obviousness analysis standards, and biotechnology-specific precedents from Federal Circuit cases. While the AI provides sophisticated analysis comparable to experienced patent attorneys, all summaries should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel before making final strategic decisions. The tool excels at rapidly identifying key issues and organizing complex information for expert review.

Q

How does this help with freedom-to-operate assessments?

A

CaseMark accelerates freedom-to-operate analysis by quickly identifying relevant patents, analyzing claim scope against your proposed products or methods, and flagging validity vulnerabilities in blocking patents. The tool maps patent families, expiration dates, and geographic coverage while highlighting design-around opportunities. This enables patent counsel to efficiently assess IP risks before product launch or R&D investment decisions.
