Johann Yi-Der Lin, Ph.D. Duane Morris LLP Suite 900 101 West Broadway San Diego, CA 92101-8285 USA Phone: 619.744.2253 Fax: 619.923.2512 Email: JYLin@duanemorris.com Johann Lin has extensive experience in the area of intellectual property law with a particular focus on U.S. and international patent prosecution in the areas of biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, chemistry, and diagnostic / therapeutic medical devices. In addition, he has experience in matters directed to pharmaceutical life cycle management and Hatch-Waxman patent term extensions, non-infringement, invalidity, and freedom-to-operate issues, as well as experience in intellectual property due diligence analysis associated with mergers/acquisitions, private and public financings, and initial public offerings. Dr. Lin also provides scientific and technical knowledge in connection with intellectual property litigation and has worked on patent infringement and trade secret lawsuits involving antibodies, diagnostic assays, and generic pharmaceutical products. He has prepared claim construction analyses for Markman Hearings and worked with witnesses to prepare declarations and expert reports. Dr. Lin’s legal and scientific background spans both academia and the biopharmaceutical industry. He received his advance training in radiation oncology at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School and was awarded the Ruth Kirstein Fellowship from the National Institute of Health. He was appointed as a NIH postdoctoral research fellow at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California where he developed functional genomic approaches to identify novel drug targets for structure-based drug design in collaboration with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute at Stanford Medical School and later with a biopharmaceutical startup company. Dr. Lin is the author of numerous scientific publications and has given a number of presentations both in the U.S. and internationally. He has an extensive network of scientific scholar, professional and entrepreneur contacts in the life sciences industry both in the U.S. and across the Pacific rim.
