Publisher's Synopsis
A biotech legal practice involves specialized subject matter and regulatory schemes that, generally, are not part of the business lawyer's repertoire and which can present many hazards for the uninitiated. Because of the expansion in biotech practice beyond the traditional organizations and their representatives, this guide can help lawyers find their way through the biotech maze. Leading experts in specialties such as patents, company formation, finance, federal regulation of research through funding, FDA regulation of biomedical research, approval of products for human use, privacy issues, litigation issues and more, will shed some light on this complex subject.
