Chemistry

The chemistry sector is wide-ranging and complex, spanning new chemical entities, processes and compositions. Much of the time, protecting IP in this sector is all about the data. Small changes may be patentable if you have the data to show a technical advantage. Our attorneys thrive on getting into the detail of our clients’ technology and are expert at identifying the data needed to support patents at all stages of their lifecycle.

Our attorneys have the expertise to guide you from invention capture and drafting, to patent prosecution and enforcement, and everything in between. Our experience in contentious matters supports our practice, enabling us to draft strong patent applications that meet our clients’ commercial aims.

We have proven experience in a wide range of technologies, including polymer chemistry, insulation materials, surfactants, batteries, smart clothing, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery.
