Biotechnology Patent Attorneys

Torrey Pines Law Group's biotech patent attorneys and patent agents have decades of experience. Prior to becoming patent attorneys, our group leaders studied and investigated a multitude of biotechnologies including monoclonal antibody research and development, bioinformatics systems, medical diagnostics, and biological and biopharmaceutical drug research and development. In addition, our attorneys and regulatory advisors have had hands-on experience with bringing biotechnologies to market through the FDA regulatory process and related hurdles including clinical trials, investment funding, acquisitions, CMC, international supply and distribution, packaging, labeling, and licensing, among many other hurdles.

Our substantial real world experience has provided our clients valuable insight into solving complex legal problems related to:

• Securing international biotech patents
• Obtaining regulatory approvals for therapeutic products throughout the world
• Securing private investment and government funding for biotechnology research and development
• In- and out-licensing of biotech, biopharmaceutical and diagnostics IP
• Litigating matters for biotechnology industry clients in federal courts

Torrey Pines Law Group's clients are on the leading edge of biotechnology innovation. Those biotechnology innovations include technologies that affect our daily lives such as personalized medicine, biosensors, and diagnostics. We have also helped advance more controversial technologies including "pharming," regenerative medicine, embryonic stem cell research, pluripotent stem cells, and gene editing.

One can imagine that the entire body of biotechnology law that affects this patchwork of technologies is as varied and far-reaching as the underlying technologies themselves. Biotechnology law has become a continuously adaptive body of law that evolves with the pace of biotechnology development, and because biotechnology law is also influenced by business cycles and the market, the most effective way to understand biotechnology law is by studying its evolution at the intersection of law, business, and science. Legal issues at this intersection include intellectual property (especially patents), federal regulation, research funding, federal approval of products for human use, privacy issues, and international issues, among many other unique legal issues.

The IP attorneys, patent lawyers, engineers, scientists, and patent agents at Torrey Pines Law Group have also worked in a variety of biotechnology industries and have assisted with commercializing, researching, and developing technologies including:
