If you’re innovating in this exciting sector, registering IP rights will encourage competitive product development while distinguishing and safeguarding your brand — protecting your investment or helping to secure essential funding to bring your innovative products to market.
- Medical Devices
In the medical device sector, subtle shifts in IP strategy away from a purely commercial approach are often needed to try and achieve the common public interest goal. International variations in precisely what can be protected must be considered at the very start of IP strategy development.
- Pharmaceuticals
It’s increasingly vital for pharmaceutical innovators to obtain and defend a robust IP portfolio that protects their research and development assets. Of similar importance is the monitoring of third-party rights that might disrupt the pharmaceutical value chain to clear the path where necessary.
