Ariosa v Sequenom: How will the Supreme Court shape the future of the IVD industry?
Three recent US Supreme Court decisions (Mayo, Myriad, and Alice) have produced a landslide change in IP protection for diagnostics. As a result, patent applicants and patent holders have been battled at the US Patent Office and the US courts. Many players are forced out of patent protection altogether. The currently pending case Ariosa v Sequenom is seminal in attempting to re-dress the issues.
