California Stem Cell Research Initiative: A Legal and Business Overview (Telephone Briefing)

This telephone briefing by the Practicing Law Institute (PLI) will cover legal, ethical and business issues raised by grants from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). CIRM is providing $3 million in state funding for stem cell research. The topics to be covered include: ethical issues inherent in stem cell research; the consequences of existing stem cell patents; permissible research under CIRM grants; the relationship between federal funding and CIRM grants; and CIRM grant agreement provisions and their effect on later intellectual property licensing agreements.
