Maximizing Healthcare Innovation: Strategic Intellectual Property Protection

Healthcare and intellectual property go hand in hand. Protecting the innovations that arise from the endeavour to improve health and wellbeing is paramount to expanding your company’s global reach.

Every scientist and healthcare provider appreciates the struggles of grant writing and fund-raising while doing research and working on their latest breakthrough (and holding everything together!). Securing the intellectual property of your innovations may be the foot in the door, the beacon of hope or the lifeline that your company needs to be able to deliver your life changing vaccines, drugs, screening devices, prosthetics or diagnostic tools to the world.

Protecting your intellectual property and eventually building a portfolio of intellectual property of your innovations will increase the market value of your company and help to secure the confidence of potential funders, investors, partners and collaborators, which will pave the way for your company’s expansion.

Have a plan for your intellectual property and use it to not only make your innovations accessible, but also to further research and development. Your intellectual property can prevent others from working on your innovation, but it does not have to be restrictive. Through licensing and agreements you can control how your surgical tools, drug delivery systems and oligonucleotide therapeutics for example are used and developed further. Having control and freedom to work in a given space takes the burden away from worrying about competitors and allows you to focus on the healthcare solutions that are needed in the world.

With health, there will always be more that we can do and that can be done. Protect your intellectual property and harness its powers to enable your innovations to reach the people that need help the most.
