Pharmaceuticals
The pharmaceuticals industry is incredibly demanding and competitive. To survive and prosper, companies must continually develop new technologies and products. When developing pharmaceuticals, there are many business and legal issues to take into consideration. It is imperative that a pharmaceutical company’s patent counsel have hands-on experience with all these issues in order to take full advantage of the complexities of this industry.
The attorneys at COJK possess extensive backgrounds in the field of pharmaceuticals, both in education and industry experience. Their knowledge of chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and molecular biology combined with in-depth legal knowledge, gives them the ability to consider the many challenges that a pharmaceutical company may face when developing an intellectual property strategy for new drug candidates, protecting brand names, or negotiating and drafting license agreements.
