Healthcare focus group
For patent classifications (IPC, CPC), a general main class exists covering the related technical areas:
- A61 Human Necessities
- Medical or veterinary science
- Hygiene
Many NLO patent attorneys have the relevant technological background(s) and broad experience in relation to this IPC/CPC class patent applications, and also in relation to utility patent or design right possibilities, especially when teaming up with members of the NLO legal teams.
Moreover, in the past years Medical Technology clients are served by NLO in virtually all sectors and teams, with many clients being serviced from two (or even three) teams, with one primary NLO contact, of course.
The NLO attorneys working for these clients are experienced in IP matters in general, but also specific healthcare or medical devices related aspects, such as regulatory issues: CE marking, clinical trials, etc.
