IP Considerations for Gene Editing in the Cell Therapy space

Published on June 10, 2024

In this article, Cellistic's Head of IP, Sergei Kurkin, addresses the critical intellectual property (IP) considerations in the rapidly evolving field of gene editing for cell therapies, including induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived therapies. The two main elements of IP strategy highlighted are:

  1. Freedom to Operate (FTO): Ensuring that the use of a technology does not infringe on existing patents.

  2. Protecting Innovation: Securing patents for new technologies to safeguard them from being copied.
