IP and Patent Infringement Protection
Violation of patents and IP in biotechnology can be traced
With the rapid development of the biotechnological industry over the past decade, the need for protection of biotechnical inventions against patent infringement has grown. This is especially true for DNA-related innovations, where violation of IP has increased in recent years. The problem is aggravated due to the fact that often only minor amounts of the patented or patent-related DNA molecules are contained in these products, thus making the detection and prove of IP and patent infringement difficult. Special knowledge and experience with handling traces of DNA are necessary to analyze such claims and provide evidence for violation. The DNA Forensics experts at Eurofins Medigenomix have gained the necessary know-how through many years of case work for the police forces in Germany as well as through scientific projects with the global pharmaceutical industry.
At Eurofins Medigenomix, Competence Center for Genetic Analyses of the Eurofins Scientific Group, we have the in depth experience to deliver patent and IP infringement solutions to leading blue-chip international pharmaceutical and law firms across the EU.
