Biological Engineering Patents

Biological Engineering-based technology inventions are always needed. Our patent firm is technically savvy in biological engineering patenting. We are ready to help you on a fixed fee basis (enabling us to help you at any budget).

Biological Engineering uses broad-based engineering disciplines of product design, sustainability and analysis to improve and focus utilization of biological systems. Many believe that applying engineering principles to biological systems for developing new technologies of services will improve the living standards of societies. It exploits new developments in molecular biology, biochemistry, cell metabolism, microbiology, ecology and engineering principles and applies them in order to understand living systems and to bring solutions to various problems associated with these systems.

  • Do you have new and novel ideas relating to biocatalysts?
  • Have you created the next bioreactor design?
  • Do you have a new and novel purification process?
  • Have you created the next new and useful software application for organizing and analyzing information related to molecular biology?

Avoid the common patent mistakes do-it yourself filers make. Patent searching prior art is a prerequisite to determining the patentability of your valuable invention. Learn strategies for licensing and marketing your patent. Many inventors providing innovation in all fields should take advantage of Stoneman Volk Patent Group's boutique quality & low fixed fees.

If you find you have a new and novel idea relating to any of these engineering areas, you would be an inventor on the patent application. If you are interested in pursuing a patent to protect your idea, allow us to help you by utilizing our fixed fee business model and our experience, since 1961, to accomplish your goals.

System For Producing Enterocytozoon Bieneusi Live Organsisms   (PDF view pdf of patent icon,   Text Only,   Figure 1)
Described is a system for efficiently producing live Enterocytozoon bieneusi (E. bieneusi) organisms using laboratory animals, preferably Mongolian gerbils. Some important steps are: providing at least one breeding pair; administering to each of such breeding pair a sufficient antibiotic in sufficient dosage to destroy essentially all parasites which might be passed to offspring, especially Trichomonas; permitting such breeding pair to produce and rear offspring as production animals; preventing breeding by the production animals by separating males from females in separate cages; immune-suppressing each production animal sufficiently to permit propagation of live E. bieneusi organisms; infecting each production animal with love E. bieneusi organisms administered in an amount sufficient for such organisms to propagate but insufficient to kill the production animal; and, during a production period following such infecting, collecting the feces of each production animal. The collected fecal material is then prepared for use.

System For Holding an Indwelling Catheter   (PDF view pdf of patent icon,   Text Only,   Figure 1)
A system for holding an indwelling catheter above the heart of a patient wearing one. When a patient has a central line placed, the catheter is sutured into the patient's chest and the external portion of the catheter, the portion that remains outside the patient's body, must be carefully protected and kept sterile; and it must also be carefully held above the level of the patient's heart and the insertion point of the catheter so that the patient's blood does not flow back into the catheter, potentially causing life-threatening clotting or infection. A sterilizable, disposable hanger, which is connectable to the port end (the external end) of the catheter, can be suspended from a necklace or neck cord by passing the neck cord through apertures in the hanger. This system allows a patient to hang the catheter from a neck cord. Using the hanger frees patients from using tape on their skin or pins in their clothing to hold their catheter in place.

Spinal fluid collection system    (PDF view pdf of patent icon,   Text Only,   Figure 1)
A cerebrospinal fluid collection system and method for conveniently and safely holding in a test tube rack, during a spinal tap and collection procedure, sterile test tubes and spinal needles, needle sleeves and stylettes. A test tube rack has four holes for holding four sterile test tubes, two needle holes for holding a spinal needle, stylette or needle sleeve, and a handle for the physician to hold when moving the test tube rack during the CSF procedure. The handle can be held on the left side by a left hand, on the right side by a right hand, or in the front by either hand. The test tube rack also allows the physician to see when the appropriate amount of cerebrospinal fluid has been collected in each test tube, while such test tube is being held in the test tube rack. The test tube rack may be prepackaged with the other needed items in a sterile package.

Custom Ankle Brace System  (PDF view pdf of patent icon,   Text Only,   Figure 1)
A custom ankle brace which is made to compensate for debilitating conditions of an individual patient's ankle area. The brace is custom made by creating a negative cast of the patient's foot/ankle/lower-leg; and then prescribed markings are included on the negative cast by the castmaker to indicate the desired geometry of support. The markings are transferable to a positive cast to inform the bracemaker. The custom brace has inner and outer material layers with a stiffening element within, all fitted to the shape of a built-up positive cast, the stiffening element having a unitary horizontal partial sole portion and vertical back-and-sides-of-leg portion. The stiffening element, made from a thin polymeric sheet, is vacuum and heat fitted to the built-up-positive cast.

Pathological waste disposal unit (PDF view pdf of patent icon,  Text Only,  Figure 1)
A pathological waste disposal unit (10) has a chamber (11) with a closeable cover (16) and a waste outlet (14) connected to a waste sump (20). A carrier (30) for waste bags (40) is mounted on a shaft (31), rotatable by an impellor (30), on which is directed high pressure water from nozzles (150). Water knives (70) cut open the waste bags (40) while the carrier (30) is rotating to release the waste (41) from the waste bags (40), to cause the waste to face the bottom wall (13) of the chamber (11) and flow through the waste outlet (14) to the waste sump (20). Safety interlock means prevent operation of the unit (10) while the cover (16) is raised and the opening of the cover (16) while the unit (10) is in operation.
