Pharmaceutical Patent Prosecution

Our attorneys have profound expertise in all facets of the specialized area of pharmaceuticals patent procurement, including traditional pharmaceutical small molecule active ingredients, pharmaceutical excipients and formulations, drug delivery systems, drug molecule synthesis and metabolism, and drug discovery tools such as combinatorial chemistry and other screening methods, and bioinformatics (including genomics and proteomics). Our attorneys have experience and perspective which allows them to see past the short term and to develop U.S. and international patent procurement strategies, integrated with both product development and litigation strategies, to create strong portfolios of intellectual property that command respect from others. The skilled attorneys at Rothwell, Figg have developed creative patent acquisition and management strategies for our clients that avoid unnecessary litigation, but take advantage of litigation in appropriate circumstances.

Whether a new blockbuster drug active, a formulation, a drug discovery research tool, or a method of manufacture, our patent attorneys are prepared, by technical training and experience, to draft patent applications which will stand up to challenges in court, but have the broadest possible coverage.
