We have more than 75 patent lawyers, technical specialists, and patent agents spanning our offices who have industry training and/or advanced degrees in life sciences and engineering, as well as experience as former patent office examiners well versed in the intricacies of the US Patent Office.
We work interactively with our clients to build and manage patent portfolios aligned with the client’s business goals, whether it be to develop a patent portfolio for a pre-clinical product of an early-stage company, a blockbuster biologic for a major pharmaceutical company, a medical device for a multinational corporation, or computer hardware for a consumer product company. We have extensive domestic and international patent prosecution experience and are successful at developing strategic plans for our clients. We draw on our experience in patent litigation, technology licensing and transfer, corporate financing, and business representation to assist our clients in shaping a patent portfolio that best serves their strategic business interests.
We work with clients’ patent committees, R&D and product development groups, research teams, engineers, and scientists to identify patentable subject matter and to devise patent prosecution strategies for maximizing global patent protection.
In addition to patent prosecution, we assist our clients with due diligence evaluations, patentability opinions, validity opinions, non-infringement opinions, and inventorship analyses and disputes. We partner with our clients to achieve their business objectives through acquisitions, joint ventures, collaborations, and public offerings.
