Intellectual Property

Principal

Gregory Grissett is a medical device patent strategist and helps medical device enterprises protect their innovations, minimize intellectual property (IP) related risk, enforce patents and defend against patent assertions. Gregory does this primarily through patent preparation and procurement, post-grant proceedings (IPR, ex parte reexaminations), patent litigation and various types of patent analysis. In addition, Gregory routinely advises companies on technology transactions through drafting and negotiating joint development agreements, software development and service agreements and licenses for all forms of IP. Gregory has significant experience assisting businesses with IP related to cardiovascular devices, orthopedics (ACL repair and reconstruction), catheters, heart valves, collagen implants, biologics, sutures & suture deployment instruments, robotics, embedded IoT medical devices, SaMD (software as a medical device) and diagnostics.

Gregory has a rare combination of experience in the international and business aspects of IP. He lived and worked in Paris, France, where he gained experience in U.S. and European patent procurement and enforcement. He also has business experience working with major global corporations in IP management and licensing roles. Gregory’s international perspective and practical experience help medical device innovators proactively manage IP development and enforcement issues unique to complex business operations.
