Mechanical inventions surround us – from the consumer products we use everyday like the lid on your coffee cup to the jet engines that propel you around the world. Even the simplest technologies can be extremely valuable. Your invention has the potential to change the world, and it is important to work with a lawyer who is as excited about your ideas as you are.
Our lawyers have extensive knowledge and experience working with a broad range of mechanical technologies. This background provides them with the foundation needed to understand a variety of inventions, and to work effectively with your team to analyze and advise on those inventions.
For example, our lawyers have helped clients to evaluate and secure intellectual property protection for lumber sorters, sports equipment, downhole drilling tools, construction materials, hydroponics equipment, wind turbines, locomotives, shipping and freight equipment, valves, medical devices, dental and surgical tools, household appliances, furniture, and more.
