Working with local patent practices

EU and UK patent practices occasionally require specialist expertise, additional EPO experience or support on particularly demanding matters.

MD IP can support patent attorneys and patent firms on specific matters requiring chemistry and pharmaceutical expertise or additional experience before the EPO. We are equally comfortable contributing to a single matter or becoming involved at a more strategic level where additional input may be beneficial.

The firm's work encompasses patent drafting, prosecution, oppositions, appeals and opinion work across a broad range of chemical and pharmaceutical technologies. This includes contentious proceedings before the European Patent Office, freedom-to-operate opinions, portfolio projects and matters involving commercially important patent assets.

In all cases, the focus is on delivering work to the standards expected of Europe's leading patent firms.
