TECHNOLOGY / IN DEPTH

Medical Devices & Imaging

We examine how medical devices generate and process signals and deliver results. Where hardware and software work together, their interaction informs the assessment of the technical contribution and potential claim scope.

WHAT WE REVIEW

Key technical and IP issues

  1. 01

    Review the operation and interaction of sensors, optics, actuators and processing units.

  2. 02

    Distinguish improvements in image acquisition, reconstruction and analysis.

  3. 03

    Consider device, program and processing-method descriptions appropriate to the technology.

Information to support the initial review

  • Device diagrams and operating descriptions
  • Imaging workflows and validation information
  • Development, publication and regulatory schedules

You can begin a discussion before all the documents are available. Your development stage and planned disclosures help us establish priorities and agree the scope of work.

Turning technical analysis into an IP plan

Our technical analysis guides prior art searches, filing strategy, prosecution and rights analysis. We agree the scope, deliverables and timetable for each engagement.

Put your IP strategy into practice.
