Technologies | Bio Ag
We have been at the forefront of agricultural innovation as Bio Ag has evolved. We bring this perspective and scientific insight to our client work.
Agricultural biotechnology, or “Bio Ag,” is an evolving field that applies biology and genetics to address global food challenges. From creating crops that can withstand drought to developing green technologies that safeguard pollinators, innovators are transforming farming for the future. Our Bio Ag practice partners with research institutions and innovators to protect these advances through strategic intellectual property solutions.
We work with researchers developing technologies that go far beyond traditional plant breeding. While plant patents cover new varieties developed through conventional techniques, our clients are focused on broader innovations, including:
Fertilizers and soil amendments designed to enhance growth and nutrient uptake
Pesticides and biopesticides, including green alternatives that target pests without harming pollinators
Genetically engineered crops that enhance yield, quality, or growth cycles
Drought-tolerant and pest-resistant varieties guided by identified genetic markers
CRISPR-Cas systems enabling precision insertion of beneficial traits
These technologies boost productivity while contributing to sustainability and resilience in agriculture.
Our Bio Ag practice also extends to animal husbandry and veterinary sciences. We assist clients in protecting innovations in:
From global leaders in animal health to university research programs, we ensure pioneering ideas are translated into enforceable intellectual property rights.
Our Bio Ag work is deeply rooted in collaboration with universities and startups. Many of the technologies we protect begin in academic labs before being licensed to larger agricultural companies. With extensive experience working alongside technology transfer offices and research institutions, we guide discoveries from the lab bench to the marketplace.
From soil science to aquaculture, our Bio Ag team helps protect the breakthroughs that are transforming agriculture. With deep scientific insight and strategic IP experience, we are committed to helping innovators feed the world—sustainably and securely. Our commitment includes:
Sustainability: Supporting technologies that enhance productivity while protecting ecosystems and biodiversity
Security: Safeguarding innovations that ensure resilient crops, healthy livestock, and secure food supplies.
Together with our Food Science practice, we provide comprehensive support across the agricultural and food innovation ecosystem, helping ideas grow into global solutions.
