Health care

A health care industry without patents would be like an orchard of ripe, delicious fruits without a fence. The industry is faced with a constant and increasing regulatory pressure, and the costs of developing new health care products are overwhelming.

A period of market exclusivity, based on a strong patent barrier, is the only way a health care company can recover the resources spent on the development of a new product. Needless to say that efficient management of intellectual property rights is key to success in this industry.

Competencies related to health care and life sciences are corner stones at Plougmann & Vingtoft. We provide services such as litigation, product life cycle management, freedom-to-operate analyses, due diligence analyses and SPCs as well as drafting and prosecution of patent applications.
