專利不只是保護技術，更是醫材新創的商業工具 / Patent isn’t just legal protection—it’s a business strategy.

8月14日，本所邱冠勛律師(Colin Chiu)榮幸受邀到生醫商品化中心(BioMed Commercialization Center, BMCC)，舉辦「Practical Patent Strategies for Medical Device Startups」為主題的演講。

邱律師不僅說明專利在新創團隊各階段發揮的作用，也針對不同風險等級的醫材產品，分析如何設計合適專利布局，並提醒團隊在研發、臨床與上市前後的關鍵時機，以及點出常見的專利迷思與誤區、提出具體解方，幫助新創團隊在專利規劃上更具前瞻性與彈性。

對於醫材新創來說，專利策略往往不只是「法律問題」，更是攸關投資、競爭力與全球佈局的核心環節。

非常感謝 BMCC 的邀請，我們期待未來持續支持更多新創團隊，協助他們將智慧財產打造為穩固的競爭優勢。

On August 14, our Partner Colin Chiu was invited by the BioMed Commercialization Center (BMCC) to deliver a talk titled “Practical Patent Strategies for Medical Device Startups.” 

In his talk, Colin explained how patents play different roles at various stages of a startup’s journey, and how patent strategies should be tailored for medical devices across different risk classes. He also highlighted critical timing for patent filing, addressed common misconceptions and offered practical solutions to help plan IP strategy with greater foresight and flexibility.

For medical device startups, patent strategy is never just a “legal issue.” It is a core factor that drives investment, competitiveness, and global expansion.

Many thanks to BMCC for the invitation! We look forward to continuing our support for startups in building strong and strategic IP portfolios.
