Overview
Stinson's patent attorneys advise chemical and pharmaceutical companies on every aspect of intellectual property law, including patent protection and strategy, enforcement and client counseling. We also defend clients against claims of infringement. Our attorneys provide services over a wide range of chemical technologies including pharmaceuticals, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry, biochemistry, polymer science, material science and chemical engineering.
We seek to understand the underlying commercialization aspects of our clients' technologies to develop specific intellectual property and business objectives.
