FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 17, 2024

WASHINGTON, DC—Legal Media Group (LMG) held its annual LMG Life Sciences EMEA awards on May 16, 2024, at the Waldorf Hotel in London. At the ceremony, Finnegan was awarded with the “Patent Litigation Firm of the Year: Medical Devices” award.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized for the work we do in Europe on behalf of our medical device clients,” said Dr. Dr. Jochen Herr, managing partner of Finnegan’s Munich office. “We provide critical support on patent portfolio management, patent litigation, and patent prosecution to some of the most significant medical device companies in the world. This recognition demonstrates the trust our clients place in us to succeed on their behalf. Furthermore, it is extremely heartening to receive an award like this as our European practice continues to expand.”

Medical device innovators face numerous challenges, including a highly litigious patent environment, tight profit margins, short product lifecycles, reimbursement programs that can affect product viability, and costly research and development activities that often require lengthy clinical trials. Finnegan works with clients of all sizes in the medical device industry, including Fortune 100, Global 1000, and startup companies. The firm advises clients on a broad range of disciplines, including drug delivery systems, electronic medical devices, endoscopy and urology/gynecology systems, interventional cardiology devices, medical supplies, monitoring equipment, orthopedics, surgical devices, and therapeutic devices.

Finnegan’s European practice has steadily expanded since the opening of the London office in 2013, most recently with the introduction of the Munich office in 2022. The professionals in our European medical devices and diagnostics  practice hold advanced degrees in biomedical engineering, dentistry, mechanical and electrical engineering, biochemistry, physics, and materials science, providing clients with the technical expertise needed in order to support our clients as they look to protect and leverage their intellectual property.
