Overview

Craig D. Boyle, Ph.D., focuses his practice on patent prosecution in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, chemical, and biotechnology industries. In addition to the preparation and prosecution of patent applications, Craig manages patent portfolios and provides assistance with due diligence, freedom to operate, and landscape review.

Prior to joining Fish & Richardson, Craig had over six years of experience as an intellectual property legal intern and an associate at an international law firm, where he assisted in the drafting and prosecution of patent applications, freedom to operate opinions, and due diligence analyses relating to small molecule therapeutics, oligonucleotides, antibody-drug conjugates, polymers, and formulations.

Prior to his legal career, Craig spent 16 years as a medicinal chemist at Schering-Plough and Merck in roles ranging from laboratory scientist to cross-functional team leader, and he successfully designed, synthesized, and advanced several novel drug candidates to clinical trials. His life science research experience spans several disease areas, including central nervous system, cardiovascular, and metabolic disorders.

Craig is a co-inventor of approximately 30 issued U.S. patents and 30 PCT applications and is an author of numerous scientific articles. He has received several awards, including the Research & Development Council of New Jersey Thomas Alva Edison Patent Award for the discovery of late-phase clinical Parkinson’s disease treatments and the Schering-Plough President’s Award for the discovery of a novel Alzheimer’s disease therapy.
