Medicine to save lives, cure disease, and lessen the impacts of illness. Few industries are as competitive – or as patent-intensive – as pharmaceuticals. When time-to-market is critical to the patients in need of your medicine, you don’t want to add any unnecessary time to an already lengthy approval process. Our pharmaceutical clients appreciate the deep scientific knowledge our attorneys have in medicine, chemistry, and biotechnology. At Seed IP, we understand the complexities of the science behind your innovations, as well as the law.
