Medical Devices

Whether you are a global corporation or a small company, the medical device field presents unique intellectual property and commercial challenges. With inventions that often form a nexus between traditionally disparate disciplines (such as molecular biology and materials, mechanical engineering and anatomy, physiology and physics), the legal issues can be complex. Our medical devices team has the knowledge to understand your technology, and the skills and experience to ensure it is well protected.

Our team has an excellent working relationship with many medical device companies and has established a level of experience which is second-to-none. The diverse range of technologies our attorneys work on includes:

• Surgical tools, stents, and catheters
• Computer aided surgical systems
• Imaging equipment and software
• Diagnostic sensing and monitoring
• Implantable systems
• Wound healing
• Prosthetics and orthotics

We take the time to understand the technological and commercial pressures that your company faces and put together a package to suit your needs. Whether that’s a dedicated team to handle prosecution of your intellectual property portfolio, a seconded attorney to assist your in-house department, or guidance on an unexpected contentious issue, we will bring to bear the necessary expertise to meet your needs.
