Agriculture and plant-related sciences continue to experience significant growth and have a substantial economic impact. New advancements in tissue culture-free transformation and transgene-free genome editing are transforming the industry. Our attorneys bring years of expertise in intellectual property related to crops with specific agronomic traits, such as improved yield, disease resistance, and enhanced protein content. We provide comprehensive patent protection, including utility and plant patents, as well as plant variety protection (PVP) for both crops and the technologies that support their production and use.
In addition, our team has extensive experience working at the intersection of agriculture and manufacturing. This includes advising on the production of bioderived chemicals at large scale from agricultural sources, as well as their use as chemical intermediates and in manufactured products.
