The Critical Role of Expert Patent Consulting in Medical Device Development
Why Patent Strategy Is Non-Negotiable in Medical Tech
Medical device innovation is competitive and fast-moving. Without a clear patent strategy, even the most groundbreaking product is at risk of being copied or blocked from market access.
Here’s the deal—patent consulting is not just about securing a patent. It’s about:
- Ensuring freedom to operate (FTO)
- Identifying design-around strategies
- Preventing costly infringement lawsuits
With OST Consulting, you don’t just file patents—you build defensible IP that aligns with business goals and regulatory needs.

OST Consulting supports clients from early-stage R&D through commercialization, including:
- Patentability assessments
- Claims drafting and review
- Competitive IP landscaping

- U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) expertise
- Strategies for PCT filings and international patent families
- Coordination with IP attorneys in the U.S. and abroad
OST Consulting translates legalese into practical steps so your product moves forward faster—with confidence.
