Popis: The high investments necessary to bring an antibody therapeutic to the market require a sound patent strategy. Although compound protection provides the broadest scope of protection, other ways of follow-up protection should be considered by innovators to achieve as long protection as possible. Further, in case a theoretical antibody against a given target is already prior art, innovators should be aware of methods to create compound protection for second or higher generation antibodies.
