This includes classifying your device, making sure it meets the correct set of regulations, as well as protecting the medical device’s IP and building an IP strategy.
We'll be there when you are monitoring the safety and quality of your product. When you're ready to look at commercial opportunities, we can share our knowledge on labeling, purchasing, manufacturing, importing and distribution, licensing, freedom to operate, and product monetization.
Whether you are a university research department or a large international business looking to acquire or invest in a medical device company, our global team of lawyers can guide you through how the regulations in different markets will apply to your work. We can give you practical advice, including speaking to EU notified bodies.
Our team in the US has particularly strong experience in IP protection. We can help you assess your patent, procure your patent portfolio and enforce it against would-be competitors with the knowledge and understanding that stems from our lawyers’ technical science and engineering backgrounds and training.
We can also help you move quickly. When a technology company with no previous medical experience came to us with a Covid-19 test device, we were able to assemble a team of data, privacy lawyers, commercial lawyers, regulatory lawyers, and IP lawyers within a few days.
Ultimately, our goals are the same as yours. We'll protect your interests while helping your organization and your device create a global impact.
