Food technology

Markets for food and food technology are increasingly shifting from local or nationally based businesses to full-scale international companies. At the same time, the food industry is becoming increasingly technology-intensive, and an aggressive use of patents and other intellectual property rights is slowly, but surely, seen within the industry.

European intellectual property law provides excellent opportunities for protecting products, processes, machinery etc., produced or used in slaughteries, dairies, breweries, bakeries, foodstuff manufacturing, fish farming, greenhouses and farming in general.

Plougmann & Vingtoft has a long history of working for clients within the food industry and our technical and scientific patent attorneys help our clients select the optimum protection strategy and prosecute patents for e.g. advanced food ingredients, functional foods, nutraceuticals and intelligent packaging.
 
Our foodtech team is also principal organiser of www.food-ip.org.
