Biotechnology in action

Biotechnology, the boom technology of this century, is a phenomenally fast-growing area of science, encompassing a massive range of disciplines and technologies: it promises rapid advancement in medicine, agriculture, nutrition and the environment. But harnessing these rapid leaps in science to obtain commercial outcomes requires sound intellectual property advice and guidance.

  • agricultural science
  • biochemistry
  • bioinformatics
  • cell biology
  • environmental science
  • genetically modified organisms
  • genetics
  • immunology
  • medical diagnosis and treatment
  • microbiology
  • molecular biology
  • plant biology
  • protein chemistry
  • proteomics
  • separation science
  • veterinary science
  • virology

As well as patents, our biotechnology team can also help you obtain Plant Breeder's Rights.
