The Drake University Law School Summer Institute in Intellectual Property, Biotechnology, and Agricultural Sciences was held in Johnston, Iowa on May 19-20.  The event, sponsored by Pioneer Hi-Bred International, addressed diverse topics including the impact of recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on biotechnology patents, the patent landscape of the nascent biofuel industry, ethical considerations in life science patents, and international considerations for drafting biotechnology patent applications.  The conference brought together an international collection of researchers, attorneys, executives, academics, and policy makers.
