Section 01 — Why it matters

Why robotics patents require specialists

A robotics invention rarely fits in a single category. It fuses mechanical engineering, embedded electronics, AI, and control software — and generic patent attorneys frequently misclassify or under-claim these layers, leaving critical innovations exposed to competitors.

A generalist filing can leave 40–70% of your invention unprotected.
We audit every technical layer before drafting — so the claims you walk away with actually cover what you built.

Section 07 — Client voices

Trusted by builders of high-value robotics IP

Their team understood the autonomy stack at a level I've never seen from outside counsel. Claims came back tighter and broader than we expected.

Dr. L. Hartmann
CTO · Autonomous Mobility Startup · Munich

Filing across EPO, USPTO and the GCC in 14 months would have been impossible without their cross-border workflow. Worth every euro.

M. Al-Rashid
VP Engineering · Industrial Robotics · Dubai

They translated a complex mechatronic invention into claims that survived opposition at the EPO. We license the portfolio globally today.
