Physics and Engineering IP

Physics and Engineering IP

Hindles have UK and European patent attorneys with strong technical backgrounds in physics and engineering disciplines.

We work regularly with complex inventions spanning physics, engineering, electronics, IT and medical devices. Many of the inventions we work with are multidisciplinary.

Examples of technical fields which we have worked in recently are:

  • Medical devices (mechanical, electronic, imaging, sensing, etc.), both human and veterinary
  • Renewable power generation, particularly wave energy and wind turbine generators
  • Energy storage
  • Sensors, including RF sensing, optical sensors, electrochemical sensors, gas sensors, acoustic sensors, IOT and "smart" devices
  • Robotics, drones, actuators, control systems
  • Space technology
  • Hydraulics, pumps, motors, engines, transmissions
  • Semiconductor processing, single photon detectors, MEMS devices, switches, etc.
  • Digital signal processing, bioinformatics, control algorithms, analogue, digital and mixed-signal electronics; semiconductor design, verification and testing; user interfaces, text mining, e-commerce, data aggregation, image and video processing
  • Mobile telecommunications, mobile device positioning technologies
  • Optics, acoustics, associated signal processing
  • Building, construction and central heating technology, ovens, water purification and recycling
  • Clothing, sports equipment, animal husbandry
  • General mechanical engineering and electrical inventions
