Julie L. Langdon’s Article Published in GEN—Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News
On December 17, 2015, GEN published “Potential Patenting Challenges for 3D Printed Organs,” authored by Julie L. Langdon. Julie’s article offers a review of recent court decisions providing insight into the patent eligibility of 3D organs. Julie concluded, “It appears that neither Section 33(a) of the AIA or Section 101 of the Patent Act will interfere with patent claims directed to 3D organs or bioprinting; however, as the laws continue to evolve, and 3D organs become more advanced and more like real organs, these are issues that should be re-visited.”
