navigating the patent maze

The blog "Law under the Microscope’" has two excellent discussions about this case.  The story of the collaboration and fall-out between City of Hope and Genentech demonstrates why wording in contracts is so important.  The jury awarded City of Hope USD 500 million.  (In my opinion, contracts are important to do right although they are rarely appreciated and only consulted when something goes wrong - and that is exactly when the wording becomes important.)
