Este mes de abril hay cambios relevantes en la ley española de patentes. La nueva norma, que reemplaza la de 1986, pondrá a España al mismo nivel que los países de su entorno. Entre los cambios más relevantes está la supresión de la admisión de patentes por el procedimiento de concesión sin examen previo, lo que reforzará la seguridad jurídica de los titulares.

The molecules that change their form when they receive light have opened the door to the so called photo-activated drugs. The change of structure makes them bind together and recognize biological receptors and, therefore, to activate or deactivate them. At the CSIC’s Institute of Advanced Chemistry, scientists are working to develop these types of molecules which can be applied to biomedicine.
