Practice Groups
Biotechnology and Life Sciences
We have extensive experience in the fields of biotechnology and the life sciences. Our team of professionals works with a wide range of clients from the commercial and academic sectors. We have advised individuals, start up companies, universities, university spin offs, SME's and multi nationals in protecting their inventions and developments and in gaining market share in the face of competitor intellectual property. We have worked with numerous companies on technology from development to product launch.
We have worked in a broad spectrum of technologies within the area, including pharmaceutical chemistry, cloning, diagnostics, bioinformatics and gene technology to name a few.
We provide a full spectrum of patent services, including drafting and prosecuting, patent term extensions, advising on clearance through competitor IP and advising on litigation and European Patent Office oppositions. We have completed a number of due diligence projects and assessments to assist corporations and start up companies in gaining maximum leverage from their IP rights.
It is important to brand any product correctly before launch, and we can advise on the possible trade name protection and availibility through our team of trade mark specialists.
We work directly in the United Kingdom and Europe, and through an extensive network of carefully chosen firms can advise around the world.
