Patent Protection for Medical Devices & Life Sciences.
Medical Device Patent Protection
Medical and life-science innovations can involve a wide range of technologies, from mechanical instruments to diagnostic methods, biological materials, reagents, and pharmaceutical-related inventions. Patent applications in these areas require careful technical drafting and a clear understanding of the specific innovation being protected.
Diagnostics, Assays & Reagents
Our experience includes medical instruments, monoclonal and polyclonal antibody techniques, cytotoxicity assays, immunodiagnostic reagents and kits, immunostimulants, pharmaceuticals, and related technologies. This background provides experience with both device-oriented inventions and technologies involving biological and chemical subject matter.
Antibody and Immunodiagnostic Technologies
We assist clients in identifying protectable features within medical, diagnostic, and life-science innovations and translating those features into clearly written patent applications. Depending on the technology, patent protection may address devices, compositions, reagents, kits, manufacturing methods, testing procedures, diagnostic approaches, or methods of use.
Pharmaceutical and Life-Science Innovations
Because life-science technologies can vary substantially from one field to another, our approach begins with understanding the particular science and commercial application involved. The objective is to prepare a patent application that accurately describes the innovation, supports appropriate claim strategies, and provides a sound foundation for prosecution before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
