Chemical Patent Practice

All of the attorneys and technical advisors in our Chemical Practice Group have undergraduate or graduate degrees in chemistry or chemical engineering. We prepare and prosecute hundreds of patent applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") and various foreign countries each year. Many of us began our careers as patent examiners at the USPTO, chemists, process engineers or professors. Our diverse technical backgrounds and experiences help us to better understand complex chemistries and highly technical engineering issues.

We represent pharmaceutical and chemical companies around the world and have prosecuted patents in the areas of polymer chemistry, chemical processing and synthesis, catalysts, materials science, organic and inorganic chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, physical chemistry and nanotechnology.
