About

Services we offer

Striving for excellence in all we do

Patent Filing

We draft and prosecute new patent applications for pharmaceutical and chemical companies from around the world. We understand the pharmaceutical development process, and specialize in protecting new molecules, as well as old molecules whose compound patent has expired. Our patent portfolios have withstood large-scale assaults from generic competitors, and significantly lengthened the lives of our clients' most valuable assets.

Litigation

We are trusted advisors on patent litigation matters, particularly Hatch Waxman lawsuits. Clark began his career as a commercial litigator, and continues to support his clients during litigation, but but currently acts more as a patent advisor to position his client's patent portfolios for success in eventual litigation.

FDA Advice

We advise clients on FDA exclusivity periods and approval requirements, including 505(b) and (j) approval pathways, the latest biologics and orphan drug developments, and Orange Book and generic substitution issues. We understand the regulatory approval requirements for pharmaceutical and biological products, and work closely with our clients to develop patent strategies that withstand generic challenge and ensure the longevity of our clients' investments.

Clark understands the drug development process and has done a great job protecting our new drug products in the United States and around the world.
