In an article published in the September issue of Medical Design
Briefs, partner Daniel T. Chavka discusses how the patent
landscape can guide medical device innovation.
The patent landscape chronicles challenges and successes that
others have faced and includes issued patents, pending and
abandoned patent applications, and more.
As part of the patent system, an inventor must go into detail
about how to make and use their invention. With this knowledge
available to the public, there is room for additional innovation.
Because of this, many companies will visit the patent landscape
involving specific technologies before investing in or adopting a
new technology with which they have little experience.
