    A best practice in big pharma, not common in start-ups

    • Patents

    A common pitfall for biotech startups is that the legal counsel often doesn’t fully grasp the underlying science. How do you avoid this? Have a patent attorney and legal collaborate on contracts to bridge the gap.

    Your company’s value resides in IP, contracts, and technology. Patent attorneys have a good understanding of science, business and legal. 

    Involving a patent attorney in legal work ensures your business is properly protected. A best practice in big pharma, but a lot less common in start-ups.
