Agricultural Intellectual Property Law
Legal Protection for Agricultural Technology
Agricultural innovation spans genetics, cultivation methods, and emerging bio-based products, each requiring precise Intellectual Property protection. Cochran Freund & Young LLC works with Colorado clients developing plant technologies, agricultural systems, and related innovations, providing strategic guidance to secure rights across domestic and international markets.

High Standards in Agricultural Law
Agricultural Intellectual Property involves a unique combination of biological science, regulatory requirements, and international protections, making experienced legal counsel essential. From plant genetics to seed distribution, each stage presents distinct legal considerations. Our clients include agribusinesses, biotechnology companies, research institutions, and developers of plant-based innovations.
What Falls Under Agricultural Law
This field includes agricultural and horticultural patents, plant patents, trait patents, plant biotechnology, and biofuels, as well as nutraceuticals derived from plant-based sources. It also encompasses international protections such as Plant Breeders’ Rights, Plant Variety Protection, and Community Plant Variety Rights, along with regulatory considerations like seed labeling. Clients often seek guidance on protecting new plant varieties, managing IP portfolios, and navigating global compliance requirements.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
Hi Bill, I read through your claims and I must say it is a work of art! Thank you so very much for being my patent warrior on this. I think if there is any elegance to this universe I’d say finding you was a one in a million shot. I feel very fortunate you understand it so completely.
Christopher Avina
President, Magic 8 Box
Thank you, James for all your efforts on this patent! I don’t have much patent experience, but this patent seemed very difficult, trying to explain and claim complex ideas while avoiding prior art. Sometimes Jerry and I have a hard time explaining the ideas or figuring out what we wanted to put in the patent and we’ve been working on the concepts for almost a year now. Your ability to digest everything we provided and turn it into a patent application is very impressive!
Nathaniel W. Crutcher

I have worked with Bill repeatedly over the past 11 years and have found each of those interactions to be a pleasure. Bill is very knowledgeable, both from a legal and a technical point of view and the results we obtained were always what we had hoped for. I would strongly recommend him.
Gary Amato
Principal at Amato Consulting
Bill helped our company take many ideas and transform them into a patent portfolio. Bill was very good to work with and had an expert way about him. If I have need of patent or legal help again I would not hesitate to work with him again.
