Patent Practice

A patent should be an asset that contributes to your bottom line. At Hansen IP Law, we can work with you to identify which patents are worth seeking and help you obtain patents worth having. We know what happens when a patent ends up in court, and we bring that experience to bear in preparing your applications and helping you grow your portfolio.

Mr. Hansen has handled patent matters relating to a wide array of technologies, including biosensors, biopsy devices, neurosurgical devices, vibration damping and suppression, computer memory, protein chemistry, polymer chemistry, rapid prototyping, lubricants, alkylene oxide processes, nanotechnology, conductive inks, bicycle components, anticholesterol drugs, insecticides, nutraceuticals, transdermal drug delivery, spinal implants, and medical diagnostic tests.
