Biotechnology

Over the course of the past decade, innovations in biotechnology have escaped the laboratory and become commercialized. In fact, biotechnology has been one of the fastest growing areas of technology, with rapid innovation being seen in a multitude of sectors. The courts have repeatedly found innovations in the field biotechnology to warrant patent protection, and intellectual property protection has become essential for the commercial success and protection of biotechnology innovations. Maier & Maier offers a full range of IP counseling regarding biotechnology innovations, ranging from automated DNA sequencing technologies, genetic modification, and protein therapies to biotech-based alternatives for materials and energy.

Types of Technology

Why Protect Your Technology?

The development of biotechnology generally requires large investments in research and testing. Thus, protecting the final product from being replicated is essential to ensure that the true inventor be reimbursed for the time and money they have invested in the technology. Acquiring and enforcing patent protection has become all the more important in the current global landscape where biotechnology innovations are constantly counterfeited, replicated and adjusted by the large number of competitors in the market. Maier & Maier has extensive experience obtaining broad patent protection and will provide, among other services, counsel to ensure continued protection of biotechnology innovations.

Further, biotechnology is a field with a global impact. Biotechnological advancements are not geographically confined; they may have a use, impact or effect anywhere in the world. As such, it is important to acquire worldwide protection for these innovations. Maier & Maier has extensive experience with global patent prosecution and protection. Maier & Maier has filed patents worldwide and provided clients with protection all over the globe.
