McNeill Baur PLLC, a nationally recognized biotech and pharma-focused IP boutique firm, provides comprehensive life science patent prosecution and counseling services. 

McNeill Baur’s patent practice spans the entire spectrum of pre-litigation patent practice. Our expertise includes patent prosecution, patent opinions, intellectual property portfolio management, patent appeals, and USPTO proceedings. McNeill Baur attorneys have also handled many due diligence and freedom to operate projects for both acquiring companies, investors, and target companies.

We are experts at the USPTO, and our firm has more prosecution-focused attorneys with advanced degrees in life science or chemistry disciplines than many larger firms. Thirteen of our professionals have PhD degrees, one of our professionals is a former USPTO examiner, and another was previously a clerk to the Honorable Kathleen O. Malley at the Federal Circuit. We have an attorney with significant prior experience as a patent prosecution trainer, and two technical specialists. We recently hired a Professional Development and Recruiting Manager to support our attorney’s professional growth.

We have earned the #1 national spot for Best Midsize Law Firm for Hours by Vault.com, #3 for Technology & Innovation, #6 for Wellness, #8 for Diversity, and #9 for Quality of Work. We were also recognized for Career Outlook, Firm Culture, Associate/Partner Relations, and Satisfaction, and ranked in the top 25 Best Midsize Law Firms, nationwide and across all practice areas. We’ve also been recognized a Recommended Firm, Patent Prosecution by Managing Intellectual Property, IAM Patent 100, and LMG Life Sciences. We are also certified as a WBENC Women’s Business Enterprise. We are committed to equity and inclusion across race, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, identity, religion, and experience.
