Drug Delivery
Drug delivery is administering a pharmaceutical compound to achieve a therapeutic effect. Many drug delivery technologies are protected by patents and must be licensed. The formulation technologies that involve modified release or controlled release can often be replicated by non-patented means. We are experts in understanding drug delivery and in figuring out how to achieve the same delivery patterns as patented formulations. Our experts use a variety of sophisticated computer models and an in-depth knowledge of patents to uncover new ways to delivery drugs that can often result in new barriers to competition that our clients can employ.
One of the most valuable services is generation of intellectual property to protect the assets we have helped them develop. PharmaDirections has generated over 19 patents or patent applications on behalf of its clients, and these patents have helped assure our clients optimal valuation by locking out competitive threats.
While drug formulators tend toward what is tried and true, patents are built on a foundation of the unexpected, and planning for the unplanned requires special talents. What makes our scientists successful as inventors is a combination of extensive experience, out-of-the-box creativity, attention to the details of experimental outcomes, and perseverance. We look at every problem in the drug development pathway as a potential opportunity to invent and protect.
PharmaDirections’ policy on intellectual property is simple: we invent; you own. Whatever we invent on your behalf belongs to you, no strings and no royalties attached.
