At Sheridan
Ross, our Biotechnology and Chemistry patent practitioners
understand not only the legal aspects of patent protection,
but importantly, we understand the technology. The ability
to communicate with our clients on a technical level allows
us to pursue broad and in-depth patent protection that maximizes
the value of our clients’ inventions. Our group has
years of experience in all aspects of biotechnology and chemistry
patent protection in the United States. In addition, because
inventions in this technology area are often best exploited
worldwide, we have developed expertise in building meaningful
foreign patent protection, assisting you in obtaining useful
rights in countries of interest.
The Biotechnology and Chemistry
group is sensitive to the need of the individual, academic
institution or start-up company to balance limited resources
with the necessity to develop a sound technology platform
that can be built upon and used to attract investors, licensees
and other business opportunities. We are also responsive to
the evolving patent protection needs of mid- to large-size
companies, where patent foundations must be expanded, strategies
can be complex, and competition can be fierce.
All of the patent attorneys
and agents in the Biotechnology and Chemistry group have degrees
in the field, including advanced degrees and/or experience
working in biotechnology and chemistry industries. Areas of
particular expertise and experience include: general chemistry,
biochemistry, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, polymer chemistry,
electrochemistry, food technology, chemical syntheses, food
processing methods, biotechnology, molecular biology, cellular
biology, protein structural biology, immunology, virology,
cell signal transduction, biological and chemical screening
assays, fermentation processes, fermentation biology, lipid
biology, microbiology, plant genetic engineering, and therapeutic
and diagnostic methods.
