Life Sciences
The multi-disciplinary field of life sciences combines some of the most innovative and important endeavors in science and technology. Contributions to medical research, health care, and pharmaceuticals have led to better health, longer lives, and significant discoveries in disease prevention and treatment. In a field that is brimming with ingenuity as well as competition, strategic protection of intellectual property rights is critical.
The life sciences attorneys at COJK possess advanced degrees and extensive knowledge in chemistry, microbiology, and the health industry as well as intellectual property law. They provide high-quality legal services combined with an acute business sense, which gives them a thorough understanding of the realities of this market.
Developing pharmaceutical drugs, biomedical devices, and biomedical software can lead to exciting opportunities. However, these efforts require a major investment of time and money, which means that organizations need to address their intellectual property issues sooner rather than later.
Our attorneys have experience in a variety of science fields, including:
- Biochemistry
- Computer science
- Immunology
- Medical devices
- Microbiology
- Molecular genetics
- Nanotechnology
- Pharmaceuticals

Our attorneys’ advanced degrees, coupled with their industry experience, allow them to speak each client’s language and collaborate effectively with major universities and research institutions.
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology is technology on a very small scale. Nanotechnology can improve traditional technologies by making them faster, more efficient, and more accurate. Amazing achievements are frequently reported in this fast-moving field. As these new nanotechnologies begin to make the transition from the bench top to commercial use, strong intellectual property protection is essential.

Our attorneys hold M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in nanotechnology, electrical and mechanical engineering, chemistry, and biology. Given the far-reaching and interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, the firm offers a comprehensive approach, merging the skills of our Life Sciences, Electrical, Mechanical, and Chemical practice groups.
We have dealt with a wide variety of nanotechnologies, including nanotubes, polymeric materials, dendrimers, micro/nano-particles, microfluidics, semiconductor devices, and organic functional materials such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) and organic electro-optic materials and devices.
Medical Devices
Invention and creativity in the rapidly growing field of medical devices represent a unique and exciting blend of materials science, micro-electronics, bioengineering, biology, and microbiology. New devices continue to enter the marketplace, creating more competition and a need for strong intellectual property protection.
COJK’s attorneys use their knowledge of law, science, technology, and related industries to effectively counsel clients. We work closely with executives and entrepreneurs, as well as engineers and scientists, to protect and maximize the value of their innovations.
