Chemical Arts Practice Group
 Chemistry is one of the fundamental foundations of science and technology. Emerging chemical
research and experimentation continually produce innovations that shape the field of raw materials
and affects the lives of every person on the planet. DCR is fortunate to work with and contribute to
the success of many of the leading researchers and entrepreneurs in the chemical arts. From nano-fibers
to synthetic and recombinant polymers, DCR consistently provides clients with broad-based, cost-effective
patent prosecution in the chemical arts.
Several highlights of the Chemical Arts Practice Group include:
- Nanotechnology - Obtaining multiple patent families for Dr. Daniel Resasco, a University of Oklahoma professor of chemical engineering. Dr. Resasco's pioneering work in sulfur tolerant catalysts and nanotechnology resulted in the first method for making carbon nanotubes in commercial quantities.
- Surface Technology - Involvement with international chemical companies such as SDC Technologies Inc., a world leader in the development and manufacturing of polymeric high-performance abrasion resistant coating systems for application to plastic and glass materials. DCR helped SDC develop patent portfolios involving several chemical arts such as nanotechnology, material sciences, and state of the art functional surface coating technologies. SDC's considerable patent portfolio secured its position as a world-wide industry leader providing the chemical marketplace with enhancements required for the materials of tomorrow.
- Polymers - Extensive work with polymers, polymeric coating compositions and resinous compositions having enhanced color, optical clarity, thermal shock, and impact resistance. DCR obtained patent protection for Dr. William Franks' innovative methods for polymerizing soybean oil. Dr. Franks' methods led to the development of the first commercially available one hundred percent soybean oil based inks. DCR also has expertise in the areas of petrochemicals and water repellent compositions for cellulose containing materials.
- Environmental - Procurement of patent rights in various fields of environmental science. DCR obtained patents for one of the first water-based inks that is completely free of volatile organic compounds. These inks are water-resistant upon curing and can be printed on polymer films. The inks have won numerous awards and accolades for the impact they have had on environmental quality and safety. DCR was also privileged to successfully prosecute the patent that protects the state of the art technology for using sophisticated surfactants to remediate underground pollution. This new technology may also revolutionize the household detergent industry.
The challenges inherent in the specialized field of procuring and protecting chemical intellectual
property rights mandate working with legal experts who are well versed in the chemical arts.
The Chemical Arts Practice Group's diverse and knowledgeable team of patent attorneys and agents
includes former research chemists with extensive chemical background at the doctoral level,
a wealth of scientific knowledge gained from industry experience and a former corporate patent
general counsel having responsibility for a chemical subsidiary of a major corporation.
