Patents are not just legal rights—they are business assets. MWM helps clients turn intellectual property into a competitive advantage, protecting market position, unlocking revenue, and fueling long-term growth. Backed by three decades of successful patent litigation matters, landmark USPTO proceedings, and decades of IP-driven deal work, MWM delivers patent business strategies built to keep your business ahead of the curve.

  • Patent Portfolio Strategy – Building and optimizing patent portfolios aligned to product lifecycles, competitive landscapes, and commercial objectives. MWM has led international prosecution teams and shaped global IP strategies from the inside out.
  • Patent Litigation – Strategic direction from filing through trial, appeal, and injunction. The MWM track record includes ANDA/Hatch-Waxman cases, 505(b)(2) disputes, and landmark verdicts that have collectively protected more than $3 billion in branded product sales.
  • Inter Partes Review (IPR) – Offensive and defensive IPR strategy with proven results, including the first-ever pharmaceutical company victory in an IPR proceeding and multiple non-institution decisions that stopped challengers at the gate.
  • IP Due Diligence – Evaluating patent portfolios in high-stakes acquisitions, divestitures, and licensing transactions. From a $6 billion FTC-compelled auction to a $1.4 billion aesthetic dermatology acquisition, the MWM team identifies risk, quantifies value, and structures IP deal terms that protect the investment.
  • Brand Protection & Market Exclusivity – Extending product exclusivity through strategic patent settlements, authorized generic programs, and litigation positioning that keeps competitors out and revenue flowing.
  • IP Licensing & Commercialization – Structuring development agreements, licenses, and joint ventures that maximize the commercial value of patent assets.
