Meet With... Merck & Co., Inc.

Thu., Sep. 24, 2009 | 9:00am-4:00pm | San Jose, CA

Emerging companies find it increasingly difficult to reach the right person when seeking funding and/or partners. Through the “Meet with...” Series, we provide emerging companies with greater access to partnering and/or financing opportunities.

In this session, Licensing Directors from Merck will talk to potential licensees to first explain what they are looking for in a company.

After the presentation, each attendee will be granted a private meeting with Dr. James Schaeffer - the Executive Director of Licensing & External Research for Merck Research Laboratories at Merck & Co., Inc. - or Dr. Yael Weiss - the Director of Licensing & External Research for Merck Research Laboratories at Merck & Co., Inc.

Patent Term Extensions and New Patent Office Rules | Thu., Sep. 10, 2009

For a company dealing with a product that will require clinical tests and FDA approval to sell, the delay involved in the regulatory review process can eat up valuable patent term. Come learn about patent term extension, whether and how you can get one, and how long they last. With a recent court decision, the Patent office is poised to change its rules in a number of significant ways.
