Protecting industrial chemistry inventions is uniquely challenging. But our team of highly experienced specialist chemistry patent attorneys put us – and you – in a uniquely strong position.
Protecting inventions in industrial chemistry brings its own challenges, distinct from those found in the pharma/biotech field on the one hand and in the mechanical/engineering area on the other. The European Patent Office and other patent offices around the world have developed particular approaches to examination of the clarity, sufficiency, novelty and inventiveness of patent applications for industrial chemical inventions. That's why we have a team of highly experienced attorneys whose main focus is patent law around industrial chemistry.
Being prepared
We know that industrial chemistry clients often face oppositions at the European Patent Office – much more so than those in other fields. So our approach to drafting and prosecuting chemistry patent applications is mindful of potential opposition, ensuring we put our clients in the best possible position from the word go.
