How can Aquinov help you in the Chemistry and Life Sciences sector ?

• In each of these sectors of activity, Aquinov can manage all IP rights: studies on freedom of use, writing up of documents, filing and acquisition of a patent in France and abroad, studies on the availability of trademarks, writing the wording of the trademark according to the sector of activity, etc.
  
  
• Aquinov provides you with perfect knowledge on patent law (laws and test cases) applied to these fields and the firm possesses all the necessary implementation tools. For example, the Aquinov Consultants have total mastery of the software for creating nucleotide sequences in the format accepted by the offices. Moreover, the drafter can produce the drawings of the chemical formulae and the graphs conforming to the norms demanded by these same offices.
  
  
• Aquinov stays constantly informed of changes to the law and the interpretations in the offices and the courts.
  
  
• The IP Consultants regularly follow training sessions enabling them to maintain an optimal quality of service and fully understand the expectations of the inspectors at the European Patent Office.

Examples of patents filed in the Chemistry and Life Sciences section.

• In the extraction field: a production process of algae extracts and the use of these extracts.
  
  
• In the health field: the use of Pilocarpine for the treatment of oligoptyalisms; a composition designed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
  
  
• In the cosmetics field: a production process of an active principle for the vividness of the complexion, the active principle obtained and the associated compositions.

Advice from the Aquinov expert

« Inventions in the Life Sciences and Chemistry field are difficult to protect. They require both that the technical aspects are well understood by the Consultant and that the specificities of the patent law in these technical fields are mastered: it is a question of meeting the particular demands in terms of substance and form which do not exist in other fields.

Moreover, certain inventions cannot be patented, notably for bioethical reasons, whilst others need particular arrangements to meet the demand for sufficient description (the filing of biological material, nucleotide sequences in a certain format etc.).»
