Re: Searching Markush structures in Marpat vs. MMS

May I make a plug for the PERI course on
Pharma/Biotech patent information? Anyone with open
ended questions like these should attend the upcoming
PERI course on patent information (see www.peri.org).
The course will be held in the Washington DC area Feb.
23-25. The PERI course will provide a big picture that
will address the concerns expressed in this message.
These questions cannot be done justice in an email
message.
