Polymorphism is critically important in the design of new drug API [9] and affects a number of areas. The main impact is to the bioavailability and release profile of a drug substance into the body. This is due to differences in solubility and dissolution rate, between the polymorphs. The chemical and physical stability of the formulated drug substance is also dependent on the polymorphic form. Patented registration of all discovered forms and their manufacturing conditions is an important element in protecting a pharmaceutical companies intellectual property. 

Chemical registration is a task that all pharmaceutical and chemical companies have to fulfill in their chemical informatics systems. A robust chemical registration system makes sure that the intellectual properties a research organization produces are preserved and can later be queried and retrieved along with other data.

Intellectual Property Attorney An attorney at law is someone licensed to practice law in a particular jurisdiction. Only an attorney may provide legal advice. Questions of patent infringement or patent validity are examples of questions about which only a licensed attorney can provide an opinion. A patent attorney is an attorney licensed to practice law, as well as being registered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to represent patent applicants before the USPTO. Registration to practice before the USPTO requires meeting certain requirements discussed below, which include passing an exam to test proficiency in patent law and rules of practice.
