Medical Devices & Digital Healthcare
Our medical devices and digital healthcare team offers the strong cross-disciplinary skills necessary to support clients in this unique sector.
Medical devices are typically high-technology, high-value, products. Even apparently simple devices such as stents are likely to be formed from high cost, advanced materials that must go through strict regulatory processes before being approved for use. These technical challenges make intellectual property rights essential in supporting the considerable investment necessary to bring these life changing products to patients and healthcare practitioners.
Digital healthcare is transforming the pharmaceutical sector. Artificial intelligence, bioinformatics and digital platforms are already essential to everything from drug discovery to personalised medicines. With an understanding of both the heavily regulated pharmaceutical sector and the fast moving tech sector our team can support healthcare companies in deciding how and why they should protect and utilise their intellectual property.
Our multi-disciplinary team has a wealth of experience in handling the IP challenges of the medical device and digital healthcare sectors. Working at the intersection of different technologies, regulations and patent law, we support multi-nationals to manage and defend their IP portfolio as well as helping smaller companies navigate the IP landscape and protect their innovations.
