Dr. Michael Bruner's practice focuses on patent preparation and prosecution, with more than 20 years of experience representing clients in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical intellectual property matters, such as the development of global patent portfolios to protect their innovations. He guides clients from the early stages of patent portfolio development when leads are initially identified, continuing through the product development process as new filing opportunities arise.
Michael has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and has extensive experience with patent matters pertaining to chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmaceuticals.
A particular focus of his practice is advising clients with respect to patent life cycle strategies and regulatory extension opportunities as the portfolio matures and regulatory approval approaches. He also advises clients on due diligence matters, including those relating to clients' investment in or acquisition of third parties, as well as licensing and collaboration opportunities.
A further aspect of Michael's practice is providing clients with opinions relating to patentability, freedom-to-operate, noninfringement, and validity.
Representative clients include Bristol Myers Squibb, Celgene Corporation, PTC Therapeutics, Hope Pharmaceuticals, Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Invrisa, Inc., Puma Biotechnology, and Brasseler USA. Particular small molecule pharmaceuticals that Michael has been involved with include REVLIMID®, POMALYST®, NERLYNX®, Translarna ™, and Duvelisib. In particular, Michael has been involved with the preparation and prosecution of various patent filings relating to the compounds, as well as applications for U.S. and foreign regulatory extensions.
Prior to attending law school, Michael performed postdoctoral research at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the areas of vaccine and infectious diseases.
