Biotechnology | Biochemistry | Bioinformatics - Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick
| The protection and management of intellectual property in biotechnology is fundamental to its successful commercialisation. With rapid advances in areas such as bioinformatics, proteomics, nanotechnology, and functional and structural genomics, the Biotechnology Department of Phillips Ormonde Fitzpatrick has developed to meet the worldwide trends and challenges of the biotechnology industry. The department consists of highly qualified and experienced researchers and patent attorneys (many with PhDs) with experience in biochemistry, bioinformatics, proteomics, microarrays, drug delivery, medical devices, microbiology, cell biology, immunology, genomics, pharmacology virology molecular biology and physiology. The Biotechnology department can provide strategic advice, patent drafting and prosecution services, opposition and patent litigation, strategic patent advice for the Australian and overseas markets. The group is well equipped to fully understand you, your IP needs and familiarise and describe your biotechnology projects to maximise their commercial value. Where biotechnology converges with other technologies, the group is well placed to draw upon the knowledge and experience of other highly skilled professionals in the firm, with specialisations including chemistry, materials and chemical engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics and IT and metallurgy. We understand that it takes teamwork to create a new biotechnology product and it can take a team to protect its IP. The Biotechnology group not only assists major corporations such as MedVet Science Pty Ltd, Ingenko Pty Ltd, and GroPep Pty Ltd with their biotechnology needs, but also assists individuals, smaller established companies and start ups, as well as academic and research institutions including Monash University, Baker Medical Research Institute, Australian National University, CSIRO and St Vincents Institute of Medical Research to identify potential IP, protect and manage their IP portfolios, and commercialise their products and ideas. |
