Chemical, Pharmaceutical and Molecular Biology Patents Department Chemical and molecular biology are becoming increasingly important, and thus it will become more and more important to be able to protect R&D results from infringement. Scientists who operate in this field have a common language with the chemists and biologists at Modiano. Indeed, one of the firm's members has obtained his Ph.D. in this field, attending the prestigious US Universities of Berkeley and Delaware. Continuing education and training allows our Attorneys to be informed about the latest developments in chemical, pharmaceutical and molecular biology, thus being able to understand and correctly interpret the information given by the Applicant. Moreover, during the prosecution of applications both in Europe and abroad, such technical knowledge enables our Attorneys to successfully interact with the Examiners or with our foreign associates, overcoming objections and suggesting solutions in order to obtain the widest protection for the client. Mechanical, Software and Electronic Patents Department Foreign attorneys active in mechanical, electronic and computer-related technology fields can count on the skills of Modiano's patent attorneys specialized in mechanics, electronics and computer-related technologies, to ensure that the clients' inventions are safely protected and enforced throughout Europe. Our staff comprises experienced patent attorneys, who have acquired an enviable experience working and interacting over the years with the European Patent Office and with other national Patent Offices. It goes without saying that the close cooperation with our non-European foreign associates also ensures the best professional advice for our clients.
