Home About us What we do Information Online services Jobs Contact

Everything we do is focused on delivering results, whether that’s getting the IP rights in place that you need to protect your innovations, attacking your competitor’s IP rights to clear a path for what you want to do, dealing with disputes or doing research to see how your business fits into the IP landscape. Over the years we have dealt with high-level individuals in a range of business sectors and industries and in doing so, we have inevitably acquired expertise and industry knowledge in specific sectors. One of the most satisfying things about what we do is constantly learning new things and finding new ways to transfer what we know to apply the experience we have gained to new problems.

Nevertheless, we are experts in certain sectors, and these include electrical, mechanical, materials, manufacturing and engineering-related technologies:

What we do best…

Automotive…

We have worked with household name clients protecting their IP rights in relation to braking & anti-collision systems, drive-by-wire technology, cockpit design, crash-worthiness equipment to name but a few. We are also working for clients who make high-efficiency internal combustion engines and who develop bespoke marine engines.

Energy…

Examples of work we have done in the energy sector includes, equipment for oil & gas surveying and drilling, borehole pre-completion techniques, drill string guidance systems, energy distribution and micro energy generation.

Green technology…

We have been involved with protecting offshore oil spill clean-up equipment, domestic water and energy conservation and recovery technology, wind turbines, solar photovoltaics, feed-in inverters, recycled materials and high efficiency vehicles.

Construction…

We have applied for patents on behalf of our clients in relation to novel roofing, walling & glazing systems, pre-fabricated building structures, highly insulated building blocks, HVAC, and the planning and installation of ground works/foundations.

Sport technology…

We represent a number of clients in n the sport tech sector and have helped them to protect inventions relating to climbing and fall arrest equipment, protective clothing, recreational watercraft, fishing tackle and angling equipment, football footwear, golf putters, range finders and golf clubs.

Digital …

A number of our clients are involved in the development of software platforms and applications for the web and smart phones. We have been working with them to develop suitable IP protection, monetisation and exit strategies to meet their business needs.

Creative …

Some of our clients work in the fashion, clothing and accessories industries. The IP rights surrounding artistic works and product design require particular attention in terms of capitalising quickly on rapidly-changing markets and the relatively short “shelf life” of some consumer products.

General engineering…

Most of our work falls into the category of “general engineering”, which covers materials science (including composites & nanotechnology), semiconductors (including MEMS), robotics, manufacturing, production and aerospace technology.
