Pharmaceutical IP Law Firm

The pharmaceutical field relates to the discovery and development of small molecules, polymers, and biologics. Because the pharmaceutical field involves knowledge and processes from multiple fields, there is often considerable overlap in other industry sectors, particularly the chemical and biotechnological arts.

At MMV IP, we understand that our clients are required to invest significant capital and to engage in extensive research to develop, make, and sell products and methods in pharmaceuticals. Once divulged, such products and methods may be easy to copy. Therefore, a strong patent portfolio is a critical necessity for our clients.

Our team of attorneys and agents is well-positioned to service your biotechnology patents needs. Seven members of our team hold terminal degrees (Ph.D. or M.D.) in fields related to pharmaceuticals, four hold bachelor’s degrees in fields related to pharmaceuticals, and two have significant in-house IP experience with a biopharmaceutical corporation.

We work closely with clients to develop patent filing strategies, and leverage our deep scientific expertise across a wide range of pharmaceuticals to draft strong patent applications and prosecute enforceable, commercially valuable patents. Understanding our clients’ technology and business goals are our top priorities at every step of the process.
