McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff’s compelling life sciences offering spans the gamut of contentious and non-contentious services. Kevin Noonan and Donald Zuhn are the anchors of its top biotechnology and pharmaceutical prosecution operation; Noonan is a vastly experienced molecular biologist and an authoritative commentator on all the latest developments in pharmaceutical patent law. He and Zuhn co-author the Patent Docs blog, which is dedicated to providing rights holders and other market stakeholders with up-to-the-minute news and insight on relevant cases and legal developments. The pair work hand in glove with commercially attuned senior advocates Paul Berghoff and Daniel Boehnen, who spearhead a growing biosimilar litigation practice. The dividing line between prosecutor and litigator is even less distinct on the electrical side of the practice; recommended in the IAM Patent 1000 for prosecution, Bradley Hulbert and Marcus Thymian are also adept courtroom litigators. Chair of the litigation and appellate practices, Leif Sigmond has lately enjoyed a string of successes in the software and hardware realms.
