Oblon’s polymer practice is supported by a team of experienced attorneys, agents and technical advisors with advanced degrees in chemistry and related disciplines as well as practical industry and business experience in polymer science. Our team regularly counsels clients in all aspects of intellectual property matters, including patent procurement in the U.S. and worldwide, portfolio development, post-grant proceedings, litigation, counseling and transactions such as licensing. From polycondensation to addition polymers of all types, the world of polymers requires knowledge not only of the various polymerization mechanisms involved, but of the morphology, rheology, molecular weight distribution and polydispersity properties of the final polymer products (such as polyurethanes, polyesters, polyolefins, rubbers, elastomers), and their incorporation in a variety of end uses, from molded products to advanced materials (such as such as bottles, containers, molded plastics, and composite and filled materials). Our team’s understanding of the chemistries and the relevant industries allows us to more effectively counsel and guide our clients.
