Buchanan’s Life Sciences Team brings together focused experience of four practice areas. With a depth of talent in strategic locations, we have the resources to tailor a team specific to your needs.

From discovery to market, Buchanan’s Life Sciences Team will help you express your potential.

Intellectual Property • Intellecual Property Procurement • Intellectual Property Enforcement Procurement Buchanan offers a full-service IP Section, the cornerstone of which is the intellectual property procurement group. Whether you need a patent, trademark or copyright, Buchanan will ably assist you at every turn.

Patents Buchanan boasts over 50 practitioners registered to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In 2014, we prosecuted over 2,100 applications and helped our clients obtain 1,682 U.S. patents. Calling upon our network of foreign counterparts, we helped our clients prosecute over 550 foreign applications and obtain 342 patents in 2014.

Application Drafting An invention’s value often turns on the quality of the patent embodying it. Because our team members are versed in life sciences, we can readily understand an inventor’s contribution to the art, and we work directly with inventors to capture and claim the full invention. We follow case law developments in the Life Sciences area and draft applications that satisfy current standards yet leave options open should shifts occur.

Prosecution Buchanan’s IP Section prides itself on cross-training. Our patent prosecutors have litigation experience and realize that every word in a file history is carefully analyzed. As a result, our patent prosecutors draft accurate and efficient responses. Should an Examiner fail to appreciate a given invention based upon written responses, Buchanan frequently takes advantage of its location and conducts in-person interviews with Examiners. Buchanan’s flagship IP office is in Alexandria, Virginia, just blocks away from the Patent Office.

Opinions Key business decisions rest upon analyses not only of your IP, but also that of your competitors.

Whether the issue is validity/invalidity, infringement/non-infringement or both, we can help you determine whether to stay the course or modify your tentative plan so as to minimize risk.

Diligence Investigations Whether you seek to acquire a patent portfolio or seek to transfer your patent portfolio, diligence investigations involve a detail-oriented process. From verifying that the “owner” truly owns the property to determining whether the risks in the transaction outweigh the potential rewards, Buchanan’s Life Sciences Team can assist with every step.

Licensing A key reason to have patents is to monetize them. We have experience with issues encountered in life sciences licensing transactions, including those associated with inter-institutional agreements, federal funding, cooperative research and development agreements, the Bayh-Dole Act, F/RAND and export control.

Intellectual Property Enforcement Patents, trademarks and copyrights permit the holder to exclude others from encroaching upon the protected area. Buchanan’s Life Sciences Team helps patent, trademark and copyright holders decide whether their rights are being threatened and, if so, when and how to take action. Our team also helps alleged infringers determine whether the infringement allegations are well-founded and whether the underlying intellectual property is valid. We are sensitive to the invasive nature of litigation, as well as the costs associated with enforcement. Drawing upon the technical knowledge of our deep bench, we tailor each litigation team to your particular needs.

Traditional Litigation Buchanan’s IP Litigation Group offers the resources and experience of a general practice firm but with the focus of an IP boutique. We handle patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair trade/competition, ITC and arbitration matters from the initial tribunal through the highest appellate court.

Patent Patent litigation is complex, and the amount in controversy in the life sciences space is often very high. Our litigators roll up their sleeves and truly learn the technology, which enables them to develop efficient litigation strategies. We have handled many life sciences cases involving chemicals, pharmaceuticals, genetically-modified organisms and medical devices.

Trademark Buchanan’s trademark litigators handle a wide range of trademark disputes, including all types of trademark infringement and dilution claims, counterfeiting, gray-market goods, domain name claims and licensing disputes. We also assist our life sciences clients in disputes before nonjudicial forums, including ex parte and inter partes registration and cancellation disputes before the TTAB and anti-counterfeiting enforcement through the United States Customs & Border Protection Service.

Copyright Our copyright litigators understand and work through key issues in copyright disputes, including originality, fair use, work-for-hire agreements and ownership, public domain, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Orphan Works and database protection.

Trade Secret Trade secrets can be among a life science company’s most valuable assets. In today’s competitive global marketplace, it is all too easy for a trade secret to be revealed, especially in light of the mobility within the life sciences sector. Our litigation team handles a broad spectrum of scientific, factual, legal and procedural issues in all state and federal courts, and we are prepared to proceed under all state and federal statutes and regulations, the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, the Federal Economic Espionage Act and state business tort laws.

Intellectual Property Enforcement (continued from previous page)

Interferences Buchanan offers an interference team that has handled hundreds of interferences before what is now the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the Board). While interferences are being phased-out due to the transition to first-inventor-to-file, many cases in the life sciences field remain vulnerable to interference practice. Our interference practitioners can work with you to position your portfolio so as to provoke an interference and then assist you with every step of the process. Should you unexpectedly find yourself in an interference, we can work with you to develop validity attacks on your opponent. Buchanan’s experience with all phases of interference practice and our familiarity with the Board removes what would otherwise be unknowns associated with an “arcane” practice.

Inter Partes Reviews (IPRs) The America Invents Act (AIA) brought about several new types of post-grant proceedings, including IPRs. IPRs are modeled closely after the motions phase of an interference, and Buchanan has effectively transitioned its interference experience to IPR practice. To date, we have assisted with over 35 IPRs, on behalf of both patent owners and petitioners. For petitioners, we help identify art, retain experts, formulate bases to efficiently attack the targeted claims, and draft persuasive petitions. For patent owners, we develop a coherent strategy to protect the patent, retain experts, decide whether to file a preliminary response and whether to amend, and draft persuasive responses. Our versatility in these proceedings allows us to craft and execute an appropriate strategy, anticipate our opponent’s next move, and create an appropriate record should the matter proceed to appeal.

Post Grant Reviews (PGRs) Subject matter eligibility, written description and enablement issues are key concerns to our life sciences clients. While not appropriate for IPRs, which are limited to anticipation and obviousness attacks, these issues can be pursued using a PGR. Our team can help you determine if a PGR is the right way to challenge your competitor and can help defend you should your property face one of these new attacks. In time, a PGR will also become a possible alternative to traditional Paragraph IV litigation.

Reissue and Reexamination Our patent reissues team has the in-depth knowledge our clients have come to expect, particularly when they are considering filing patent infringement litigation to enforce their intellectual property rights. Reissue proceedings are similar to standard patent prosecutions, but critical differences between the two can lead to a poor outcome if they are not handled correctly. Our experience in both broadening and narrowing reissue applications and in reissue protests provides our clients with full access to this sometimes critically valuable option. Many defendants and some plaintiffs in patent litigation are interested in reexamination requests, an option with both benefits and serious risks. We are ready to advise our clients about the complex strategic decisions presented by reexamination requests.

participation, advisory board management and utilization of social media tools. We counsel on the state and federal laws on Sunshine Act/aggregate spend disclosure, spending limits and prohibitions and compliance program adherence.

Drug Safety We work to assess the various issues associated with drug safety, adverse event reporting and manufacturing. FDA’s increased regulation of manufacturing and drugs in gray regulatory areas has led us to work directly with the agency to try to ensure its actions are justified. In many cases, we have been able to convince the agency that injunctions against clients were inappropriate, that seizures of goods were unnecessary and the recalls of the goods were unwarranted.

Regulatory Compliance and Enforcement We apply our cross-functional knowledge to help our clients comply with regulatory requirements at every phase of a product’s lifecycle, from development and manufacturing through marketing and distribution. We also create highly effective plans for addressing compliance issues related to clinical trials and the manufacture, marketing and distribution of human and animal drugs, biological products, medical devices, combination products, tissue-based and gene therapy products, foods and cosmetics. We help our clients stay ahead of what is next by keeping our eyes on what is happening with the FDA, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ). We make sure our clients know what may be newly required in preapproval and post-approval inspections, advertising and promotion, good manufacturing practice and quality system regulations, import-export, clinical trial monitoring, post-market surveillance and administrative and judicial enforcement actions.

Government Investigations Our multidisciplinary team is experienced in navigating the intricacies of government investigations. We frequently represent clients before the DOJ, the FTC, state attorneys general and various other federal and state regulatory agencies. In addition to representing clients facing antitrust or unfair trade practices allegations, we counsel individual clients who are subpoenaed to testify as third-party witnesses, as well as clients with an interest in such investigations.

In addition, we have conducted internal investigations and advised clients with respect to compliance with antitrust regulations, as well as other state and federal laws governing business and commerce.

International Markets We have dealt with regulatory agencies in Canada, Europe, the Pacific Rim, the Middle East and South Africa. Conversely, we have helped companies from all over the world market their products in the United States. Product licensing and joint venture agreements are an important part of international business. Our group provides companies entering such agreements with economic and financial analyses of the products and markets involved. We also analyze the
