We have a dedicated CRISPR group that has amassed extensive knowledge, enabling us to stay at the cutting edge of this groundbreaking field.

CRISPR Intellectual Property Protection

Gene-editing technologies such as zinc fingers, TALENs and CRISPR and their applications, for example in diagnostics and therapeutics have been a hot topic for the last few years. Murgitroyd’s CRISPR group has extensive knowledge garnered from working with the manipulation of CRISPR systems for food applications from 2007 and evolving with the technology itself into the various other applications of this technology.

Having been at the forefront of this emerging technology, Murgitroyd is skilled at advising clients through the complex patent landscape that has been built up providing proactive and pragmatic commercial advice to our clients. We can provide a depth of understanding as to how patent offices are viewing this technology and the type of data that is required to generate robust patent protection depending on the application of the technology within the invention.
