Life Sciences

Our firm’s life sciences group has grown to include operators with research PhDs.  The group has substantial experience with drafting, prosecution, and oppositions across a range of technologies, including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, medical devices, genomics and molecular biology, agribiotech, biochemistry, and chemical engineering.

‍

We have scientific training across a broad range of scientific disciplines and have combined and complimentary patent experience across the fields of molecular biology, immunology, pharmaceuticals, protein chemistry, biotechnology DNA technology, microbiology, vaccines, assay/diagnostics development, medical devices and treatment, and biomaterials science.

‍

We are acutely aware of the effort involved in developing IP in the life sciences space, and are committed to achieving the best possible outcome for clients and associates.  In both Australia and New Zealand, there are idiosyncrasies associated with the prosecution of therapeutic claims, and biotechnology more generally. Our life science experience is not limited to Australia and New Zealand and extends to overseas, in particular major jurisdictions such as Europe and the USA. We are confident that associates will recognise the benefits of having cases handled by operators providing genuine expertise and outstanding attention to detail.

‍

This diverse technical specialty and breadth of experience allows the life sciences group to work with and provide clients with comprehensive and high level advice and service, grounded in a fundamental understanding of the core science.
