The firm’s industry knowledge and outstanding skill in strategic projects, combined with the technical insight of our specialist lawyers, a number of whom have a background in engineering, enables it to remain at the cutting edge of IP law. With emerging technologies becoming the key to Britain’s future as an engineering nation, protecting valuable intellectual property is more important than ever. The team has developed a guide in collaboration with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMecHe) and while it primarily provides an understanding of IP rights in the context of engineering activities, it also gives a general overview of applicable IP rights, how IP can be used to future-proof a business and most importantly, how it can be used to create and extract tangible value across all industries.
