Medical & Surgical Devices Systematic Precision
Emerging medical technologies face fierce competition, as well as a host of legal, regulatory, legislative, and industry challenges. At Kilpatrick Townsend, we provide strategic legal and business counsel throughout the medical and surgical device lifecycle — from inception and approvals through product debut and maturity — for innovative medical technology companies, research institutions, universities, and inventors worldwide. We combine the technical know-how of a large intellectual property practice with our deep litigation and corporate experience to best identify the means to achieve the strongest possible market positions for our clients’ technologies and innovations.
Reach
Across-The-Board Experience
Our team of intellectual property, litigation, and corporate attorneys have a long and successful history advising companies of all sizes — U.S. and global Fortune 100 companies, startups, and individuals — in the areas of intellectual property (IP acquisitions, portfolio development, licensing, and due diligence), litigation (patent, trademark, and product liability actions), regulatory compliance, class actions, product recalls, finance, business and government, and corporate mergers and acquisitions. Our litigation experience includes bet-the-company and high-stakes industrywide disputes, as well as protective and enforcement strategies involving injunctive relief, reexaminations, and declaratory judgement actions.

We routinely work across a wide range of technologies, including catheter-based technologies, surgical robotics, complex optics, as well as interdisciplinary technologies involving electronics, biotechnology, chemistry, and nanotechnology components.
