EP&C
EP&C is your partner for Intellectual Property in Life Sciences and Food
For companies and institutes in the field of life sciences, proper protection of their Intellectual Property is vital for survival. In many cases, the ideas or the inventions are the reasons why the businesses were set up in the first place.
EP&C manages the portfolios for a great number of clients in the life sciences and food sectors. These portfolios encompass processes specific to the discovery of an invention, all the way through to the granting of IP rights. According to our clients, quality and reliability are two of the key reasons for choosing to work with our experts. Our clients in the life sciences and food sector present us with a mix of methodologies. Some work with structured processes, whilst others choose a more ad hoc approach to business, where speed and agility are of the essence. In either case, our specialists, each with scientific training and proven track records throughout their academic and IP careers, always deliver top-quality services.
