Effective IP evaluation and review are essential for recognizing, safeguarding, and maximizing the value of IP assets. Its evaluation involves assessing the novelty, patentability, and commercial potential of an invention.
This process can be complex, and it often requires the expertise of patent attorneys and other IP professionals. The practice is focused on helping clients extract maximum value from their IP portfolios, IP mining to defined patented Markush, and supporting companies and investors conducting IP due diligence.
We can also give you an expert outside review of your project. We can help you define and exploit gaps in existing prior art, whether for composition-of-matter or process patents.
On the medicinal chemistry side, our expert knowledge in emerging novel structural motifs - such as, but not limited to, bicyclic and spirocyclic scaffolds - can provide you insights into ways to obtain freedom to operate and to carve your own proprietary chemical space around your molecules of interest. Working with novel chemical matter is often a very strong standpoint for composition-of-matter patents.
Our route scouting team is also well-versed in evaluating optimal synthetic strategies to “attach the atoms together” in the most efficient manner, whether from a technical or cost-of-goods point of view. We regularly work with clients looking at developing cost-effective and scalable synthetic routes to active pharmaceutical ingredients, from clinical assets all the way to generic drugs.
Each stage of a project requires different investments in protecting the asset. Process patents offer an additional level of protection over Composition of Matter patents and can be used to extend the period of protection of molecules.
