Anthony Muratore has more than 35 years of experience in the area of intellectual property law and is consistently recognized as one of Australia's leading patent litigators. He has established a reputation acting as the Australian member of global teams representing clients in multijurisdictional patent disputes.
Anthony has acted in a range of matters involving biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, mechanical engineering, chemistry, and information technology. In the biotechnology and health care fields, he has acted in matters involving patents relating to drug formulation, transdermal drug delivery devices, synthetic nucleotides, sterility assurance, gene silencing, photodynamic therapy, contact lenses, and CPAP for the treatment of sleep apnea.
Some of these matters are amongst Australia's most high-profile cases that have tested and established some of the most fundamental aspects of Australian patent law. These include the High Court's rulings on whether isolated nucleic acids (Myriad Genetics) and methods of treatments of human beings (Sanofi v. Apotex) are patentable subject matter under Australian law.
Currently, Anthony acts for clients in patent disputes involving key technology and blockbuster pharmaceuticals. This includes acting for AbbVie in relation to Humira, Sanofi in relation to Praluent (PCSK9), and Toolgen Inc. in relation to revolutionary CRISPR gene editing technology.
