Her gift for finding creative options to resolve present and potential problems results in broad and continuing patent protection for clients. Denise partners with clients on a wide range of patent matters, including for genetic testing, disease detection and screening tools, veterinary medicine, vaccines, orthopedic devices, dental devices, chemical purification, extraction techniques, and plant products and medicinal plant products such as cannabis.

She counsels clients on matters such as pharmacophore drug modeling and selection, antibody and stem cell technologies, regenerative medicine and stem cell technology, disease-screening methods and bio-signature development and disease detection.

She also handles IP matters related to medical devices (spine, shoulder, knee), DEA-regulated research, controlled substances (anabolic steroids, cannabinoids) and Bay-Dole compliance and iEdison reporting. Denise is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

She works closely with clients to maximize an effective path to market, especially for products, methods and systems related to technologies requiring the experienced handling of FDA regulatory compliance issues and trade secret and/or patented technologies in the pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical nutraceutical, dietary health supplement and medical device product areas.
