In a world where healthcare and technology converge, Fitch Even stands at the vanguard, providing the legal acumen essential for driving medical advancements. Our team’s expertise spans mechanical, chemical, and software domains, ensuring Intellectual Property (IP) legal advice that’s as innovative as the medical devices it protects.
We are well equipped to handle the myriad legal challenges that medical device and diagnostic companies face, whether transactional or litigation. Our lawyers secure patent protection for complex medical device and diagnostic technologies and provide strategic intellectual property counseling directed towards monetizing such assets and avoiding and defending against infringement assertions. In addition, clients often ask us to handle patent due diligence involving fundraising, mergers, acquisitions, and strategic partnerships, because we understand what creates commercial value in a patent portfolio.
