Foley Partner Jacqueline Wright Bonilla was quoted in an article that appeared in FDA Week on August 5, 2011 titled “Gene Patent Ruling’s Isolation v.

She states that the distinction is not clearly defined with regards to non-nucleic acid biologics and pharma molecules, adding that this distinction might be determined on a product-by-product basis and influence how attorneys draft their patent claims.
