RE:RE:RE:On GLP-1 agonists US Senate passes anti-patent thicket billAs a result of the US Senate's passing of the anti-patent thicket bill on July 12, 2024, a common tactic of layering patents on top of a single producr to extend marketing protections, "process" or "utility" patents that had been used in the past and filed on incremental improvements of the original product in an effort to extend patent exclusively, will no longer hold precedent in the same manner as before.
