醫療保健與科技的融合創造了新的機會

Finnegan飛翰透過制訂智權策略，協助客戶（從新創企業到老字號公司）保護和數位醫療技術有關的創新解決方案，希望降低成本之際，亦可改善對病患的照護。消費者可以使用的平價可攜式裝置越來越多，這些裝置可以提供個人健康和生活方式的指標及詳細的數據。對於連接日益緊密的世界，這些珍貴的訊息有助於醫療保健專家提供更高水平的照護。我們也注意到製藥商以破紀錄的速度與數位醫療公司結盟合作。數位療法的多層次市場有望彌補傳統臨床療法的不足，甚至取代傳統的臨床療法。現代醫學越來越複雜，並且超出人類的記憶容量 (當今有上千種的診斷，藥物，以及醫療和外科手術得以使用），數位醫療技術對於提升患者照護和服務的水準提供了必要的工具。

了解法律，科學和技術

Finnegan飛翰的律師從整體制訂智財策略的方式與企業合作，確保技術創新得以真正的融合。我們的技術經驗涵蓋生命科學（生物技術、臨床、診斷、醫療保健、製藥、基因組學、生物資訊學、醫療器材），並跨足電腦和軟體技術 (例如：人工智慧、大數據、和雲端存儲），以及工業製造、奈米科技、感應器，和其它相關領域。我們理解這些不同技術對應之法律上的細微差別，因為某些技術在特定的法律層面可能比其它技術來的敏感，我們因而與客戶緊密地合作，根據其核心業務目標、開發速度、市場進入的難易度、市場流動性、結盟變化、複製抄襲與執行的難易度，擬訂智財保護的適當策略。我們也評估當前的產業趨勢、待議決法案和判例法、潛在商品與產業的進展，以及這些進展對客戶智財現況的影響。我們為在互有交集之各產業進行創新的老字號公司提供法律諮詢，善用得以宣傳行銷各品牌並統一品牌價值的各種機會。接著，我們透過專利，商標，著作權，和營業秘密，對於如何讓創新獲得最佳保護並做最妥適的運用提出建議，以及導引客戶迴避他人製造的障礙。

與欲突破界限並創造新市場之數位醫療創新者合作時，我們透過以下方式給予協助：

透過取得美國和他國專利，建立和管理一套全方位的專利組合

Defeated Healthbox Global Partners, LLC’s motion for preliminary injunction asking the court to immediately order Under Armour to stop using HEALTHBOX/UA HEALTHBOX for its new connected fitness product, rebrand, and recall all products from store shelves. After briefing and argument, the court ruled for Under Armour on all claims.

1:16-cv-00146, D. Del., Judge Robinson

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) reversed a rejection of all patent claims in a patent application related to important neurodiagnostic device features for concussion and other brain abnormality assessments. Finnegan argued throughout the examination that the examiner had interpreted a claim limitation too broadly, and failed to appreciate the advance that the application claimed. After oral argument, the PTAB judges agreed and reversed the examiner's rejection on all grounds.
