Haynes Boone’s Biotechnology Intellectual Property team provides legal insight on intellectual property strategy, patent prosecution and transactional IP due diligence. Our practitioners routinely handle domestic and foreign prosecution for patent portfolios of all sizes, providing sophisticated counseling and portfolio management, as well as representation in post-grant proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), litigation in federal courts and cases before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).
We have devised IP strategies that encompass not only patents, but also data rights and the strategic use of trade secrets to provide overlapping end-to-end protection for proprietary products and services and partnering agreements to leverage or monetize such technology and IP rights.
