Bioscience
Fortunately for all of us, the bioscience industry develops life-enhancing, and at times, life-saving products. The industry is high stakes, highly regulated, and capital intensive. The large investment in research and development makes protecting intellectual property rights critical.
Innovative bioscience development occurs in many types of companies, from startups and university spin-offs to well established publicly-held companies. Porter Wright assists bioscience companies in the early stages of growth to start with a solid foundation for success and protect that foundation for the future. If your company is starting out in the industry, we can help you select an organizational and operational framework that makes sense for your business objectives; structure business alliances in research, development, manufacturing, and distribution; acquire, protect, and exploit intellectual property rights; and meet regulatory obligations.

Whether your bioscience business is emerging or well established, we can help you successfully manage the legal issues that affect your ongoing operations, including:

  • Structuring and negotiating venture capital and angel investment to infuse capital at critical junctures
  • Dealing with legal issues arising in the clinical trial process, including compliance with regulatory and institutional review board requirements
  • Structuring and negotiating technology licenses from government, universities, and other research institutions
  • Prosecuting and licensing patents and other intellectual property
  • Acquiring and disposing of technology assets and business units, including mergers and acquisitions
  • Structuring and negotiating joint venture, manufacturing, and distribution agreements
