An electronics patent is only as strong as its technical description and as precise as its claims. We work alongside inventors, SMEs and startups on the technical part of the process: understanding whether the idea is patentable, what already exists, and translating the innovation into a technical text that the industrial property consultant can file with confidence. With 13+ patents as co-inventors and our own patents filed with the UIBM, we speak the language of electronics and the language of patents.
You have a device, a circuit or an algorithm applied to a sensor and you're not sure whether it meets the requirements of novelty and inventive step. We carry out a preliminary technical assessment and a prior art search to find out before you spend.
The legal consultant is in place, but you need someone to translate the invention into a clear technical description, drawings and diagrams, on which to build claims that offer real protection — not generic ones.
The office has raised technical or clarity objections. We help prepare the technical response, reformulate what needs reformulating and defend the substance of the invention.
Before investing, you want to know what's in the state of the art. We map the sector's patent landscape (gap analysis) to identify open spaces and infringement risks.
Technical assessment of the invention against the requirements of novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. An honest opinion on what is worth protecting and what is not.
Prior art search across UIBM, EPO and international databases to verify the state of the art and identify the real margin of novelty of the solution.
Drafting the technical part of the application: description, figures, schematics and flowcharts — a solid foundation on which the patent attorney builds the claims.
Mapping the sector's patent landscape to identify white spaces, protection opportunities and the risk of interference with third-party patents.
Technical support in preparing responses to the office's objections, from reformulating the description to the technical defence of the invention.
If we develop the product together, we identify the patentable features as they emerge — the best moment to protect them. See our development services →
We are electronics specialists with extensive patent experience, not industrial property consultants: the legal filing, the claims in their final form and the representation before the offices remain the responsibility of the qualified patent attorney. Our value is the part many law firms lack: the deep technical expertise to truly understand the invention, write it up correctly and defend it on the merits.
If you already have an IP consultant, we work as a team with them. If you don't have one yet, we can point you towards reliable professionals. Either way, you have a single technical point of contact from idea to filing.
Over nearly 40 years we have contributed as co-inventors to more than 13 patents and filed our own patents with the UIBM. We don't read electronics from a manual: we design it.
In nautical, industrial automation and robotics, for clients and partners. All under NDA.
SailSensor BoomAngle, Pressure and the Electronic Baseball Umpire: we went through the process from the inside, as inventors. See the patents →
We understand BLE, RF, firmware, sensors and algorithms: the technical description is written by those who actually build these things.
SailSensor BoomAngle: the differential quaternion fusion between two IMUs that cancels drift is exactly the kind of technical feature that, once identified and well described, becomes a defensible claim. We covered the whole path, from the algorithm to the UIBM filing.
No: we are electronics specialists with extensive patent experience. We handle the technical part — patentability analysis, prior art search, technical description and drawings, support with objections — while the legal filing and representation before the offices remain the responsibility of a qualified patent attorney or industrial property consultant, with whom we work as a team.
You need novelty, inventive step and industrial applicability. It's not the idea in itself that is protected, but its technical implementation: an original hardware architecture, a signal-processing method, an algorithm applied to a sensor in a non-obvious way. The first step is always to check what already exists in the state of the art.
Software "as such" is not patentable, but an invention that uses software to achieve a technical effect — for example an algorithm that improves a sensor's measurement or a device's operation — can be. The difference lies in how the invention is framed and described: this is exactly where the technical angle makes the difference.
Yes, we work under NDA. It's crucial for patents: premature public disclosure destroys the novelty requirement. That's why we treat every project as confidential until any filing takes place.
It depends on the complexity of the invention and on what is needed: a patentability assessment with a prior art search is a contained effort; drafting the full technical part is more involved. In an initial assessment we define scope, timeline and costs before starting, keeping our technical contribution separate from the filing fees and the patent attorney's fee.
Tell us what it's about (under NDA) and where you are in the journey: initial idea, prototype, or an application already filed with an objection to address. Together we assess the right technical step, with defined scope and costs.
