Medtech and medical devices intellectual property protection strategy
A good intellectual property protection strategy includes far more than just getting patents granted. There are many other aspects of IP that should be considered, for example registered and unregistered designs.
The following considerations should be taken into account before disclosing your invention to third parties or pursuing patent protection:
- Do you know your patent landscape and are you free to operate?
- Who are your main competitors or potential licensees?
- In which jurisdictions should you obtain protection?
- Should you use utility models, and if so where and when is it appropriate?
- Your prototypes are made and ready to use but how do you address issues of confidentiality in testing them?
Our team’s long experience in this industry means that, with us as your advisors, you can be sure these aspects will be taken care of.
