Medical Devices

This area of the firm's practice extends to the protection of innovations in a broad range of fields, such as:

• Imaging systems (X-ray, MRI, Ultrasound)
• Spectroscopy
• Circuit Design
• Methods of Diagnosis or Treatment
• Disposable Devices
• Optical Systems
• Control Systems
• Material Science

Medical devices and related methods of diagnosis and treatment often involve an interdisciplinary approach requiring a combination of a number of different scientific, medical, and engineering disciplines. To grasp the complexity of these inventions and the highly competitive business environment in which they are developed, attorneys practicing in these fields have experience in the health care industry and understand clinical issues that drive the solutions to problems and hold degrees in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering or physics.  Our educational and work backgrounds enable us to communicate with our clients efficiently and to understand their goals.  Those advantages, in turn, allow us to obtain effective long term protection for our clients, both in the United States and around the globe.
