Life Sciences Litigation: Tracking the Paths of Regulatory and Patent Law During Drug Development
From the inception of a drug through approval, there are any number of inflection points that have significance from either a regulatory or patent perspective. Often, decisions that are made at those points have long-lasting implications.

Join Cooley as we dive into some of the most common structures and pitfalls for discovery collaborations.
