Patent Prosecution Team and Multidisciplinary Technical Expertise

Patent prosecution often depends as much on understanding the underlying technology as on applying patent law. For each matter, Drori Stav IP assembles a team combining experience in Israeli patent law with technical knowledge relevant to the invention. This enables us to analyze claims in their technological context, develop amendment strategies, address examiner objections and coordinate Israeli prosecution with corresponding applications in other jurisdictions.

Technical Fields

Our patent practice spans a broad range of technologies, including software and computer science, electronics, telecommunications, mechanical and product engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, medical devices and consumer products.
