How Can A Biotech Patent Attorney Help Me?

A biotechnology patent attorney can provide valuable assistance to companies that are developing new biotechnology products or seeking to protect their existing products through patent protection.

Here are some ways that a biotechnology patent attorney can help a company:

Conduct a patentability search: An attorney can conduct a patentability search to determine whether a company’s invention is novel and non-obvious, and therefore eligible for patent protection.
Prepare and file a patent application: A biotechnology patent attorney can prepare and file a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that describes the invention in detail and explains why it meets the requirements for patentability.
Respond to office actions: If the USPTO issues an office action in response to a patent application, an attorney can help the company respond to the issues raised by the USPTO and address any deficiencies in the application.
Enforce patent rights: If a company’s biotechnology patent is infringed upon by another party, an attorney can help the company enforce its patent rights through litigation or other legal means.
Conduct due diligence: An attorney can conduct due diligence on behalf of a company to ensure that its products and technologies do not infringe on the patents of others.
Negotiate licensing agreements: An attorney can help a company negotiate licensing agreements with other parties that allow the company to use their patented technology, or that allow others to use the company’s patented technology.
Provide strategic advice: An attorney can provide strategic advice to a company on how to protect its intellectual property, develop new products, and navigate the complex regulatory environment in the biotechnology industry.

Paul and Paul is a great firm to work with, especially if you’re an entrepreneur. I’ve been working with the firm since 2013 and have two patents to show. What I love most about Paul and Paul is that they are a boutique firm. The level of attention I get from my attorney, Mr. Sluzas, is likely not found at a larger firm. My questions and concerns are typically answered within hours of my request, if not sooner. If you’re looking for a firm that is experienced, respected and responsive to your needs, I suggest Paul and Paul.
