EPO Opposition & Appeal Proceeding
European Patent Office opposition and appeal proceedings provide critical mechanisms for challenging patent validity after grant. These complex administrative procedures require specialized expertise in EPO practice and deep understanding of European patent law.
Our opposition services include comprehensive prior art analysis, strategic assessment of invalidity grounds, and preparation of detailed opposition briefs within the critical nine-month filing window. When decisions require further review, we provide experienced representation in EPO appeal proceedings before the Technical Boards of Appeal, including preliminary analysis, response to Board communications, and skilled advocacy during oral proceedings.
We represent both patent challengers seeking to clear competitive landscapes and patent owners defending valuable IP assets. Our approach emphasizes early case assessment, cost-effective strategy development, and coordination with parallel proceedings in other jurisdictions to maximize client outcomes across global patent portfolios.
Pharmaceutical drug development process
Successful pharmaceutical development requires strategic intellectual property planning at every stage from discovery to market. Our comprehensive approach integrates IP strategy with regulatory milestones, ensuring optimal protection while identifying patentable innovations beyond the primary active compound.
We guide clients through critical IP decisions during preclinical research and clinical development, including formulation developments, manufacturing processes, combination therapies, and novel delivery mechanisms. Our regulatory IP expertise encompasses data exclusivity strategies, orphan drug designations, and pediatric extensions while conducting freedom-to-operate analyses that inform trial design.
As products approach market authorization, we develop comprehensive IP enforcement strategies and licensing frameworks. Our experience includes navigating regulatory exclusivities, managing patent term extensions, and structuring agreements that support successful product launches. This integrated approach ensures IP considerations enhance development decisions, creating robust protection strategies for current products and future pipeline opportunities.
Leadership workshops
Strategic intellectual property management requires organizational understanding. Our leadership workshops provide executive teams and emerging life sciences companies with comprehensive IP education that transforms how organizations approach innovation protection.
Our workshop curriculum focuses on the five interconnected elements of the IP protection framework, illustrating how active and passive protection strategies create sustainable competitive advantages. We help leadership teams understand when to pursue aggressive patent prosecution versus strategic defensive positioning.
These intensive training programs combine theoretical knowledge with practical case studies from real-world pharmaceutical and biotechnology scenarios. Participants learn to identify IP opportunities early in development, integrate IP considerations into business planning, and build organizational cultures that prioritize intellectual property as a core business asset. Our workshops are particularly valuable for startups transitioning to commercialization, established companies entering new therapeutic areas, and management teams optimizing IP decision-making processes.
