PHARMACEUTICAL CO-CRYSTALLS. FEATURES OF ASSESING THE PATENTABILITY
Abstract
In connection with the latest achievements of the theoretical crystallography the question of a potential patentability of new co-crystals of the known substances, as well as the estimation of their novelty and inventive step, becomes more and more relevant. In this article the author, basing on existing legal precedents, tries to analyze the question of patentability of co-crystals and to elaborate criteria, which help to increase chances for the patent granting. In addition, the author gives some recommendations with regard to the search directions for the new co-crystals.
