Patent Prosecution

Strategic Patent Prosecution for Innovators

We guide innovators, from startups relying on a foundational patent to global corporations managing extensive portfolios, through the entire patent lifecycle. Our goal is to secure robust, defensible utility and design patents that protect your core technology, deter competition, and create lasting value.

A Record of Success in Complex Fields

Our patent professionals combine legal skill with deep technical knowledge to protect innovations at the highest level. Our experience includes:

• Developing an international patent portfolio for a venture capital-backed $500M+ medical device company.
• Drafting and prosecuting patents for universities, startups, and medical centers in highly complex fields like polymer chemistry, cellular therapies, therapeutic antibodies, drug delivery systems, and regenerative medicine.
• Curating extensive design patent portfolios for leading consumer goods clients.
• Crafting critical noninfringement, validity, and freedom-to-operate (FTO) opinions for publicly traded pharmaceutical companies and biotech startups.

More Than Filing—A Global Strategy

We act as strategic partners in managing global IP portfolios. Our team develops tailored prosecution plans that align with your business objectives, acquisitions, and joint ventures across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. We regularly collaborate with international clients to prosecute and grow their patent families within the United States, ensuring seamless cross-border protection.

Broad Industry and Jurisdictional Reach

Our experience spans a vast range of sectors, including life sciences, medical devices, computer technology, manufacturing, and consumer goods. We are proficient in drafting, filing, and prosecuting applications before the USPTO and international bodies like the European Patent Office (EPO), as well as national offices around the globe.
