Chemical

Chemical patents covering innovations related to chemical compositions or products, systems for making or using chemical compositions or products, and processes for making or using chemical compositions or products are pursued by businesses for numerous reasons. Development and management of a quality patent portfolio including chemical patents is important to create barriers to entry for competitors, to deter costly patent litigation, to reduce royalty payments to competitors, to attract investors and obtain funding, and to provide a revenue stream for the business through monetization.

Recognizing the importance of chemical patents to our client's businesses, we work closely with our clients to protect their intellectual property worldwide. Chemical patent applications are drafted and prosecuted with an eye toward litigation, taking into account the legal differences among countries where appropriate. We also utilize our technical expertise in the chemical arts to perform patent portfolio management, monetization, and opinion services.
