Advanced manufacturing combines high-tech methods including robotics, AI, and additive manufacturing - to drive efficiency, quality and sustainability in product development.

Similarly, advanced engineering applies cutting-edge science and precision to address challenges in sectors like aerospace, energy, and healthcare. As these sectors evolve, securing intellectual property (IP) is essential to protect technical breakthroughs and maintain competitive advantage.

We support innovators in advanced manufacturing and engineering to safeguard their products and processes through strategic IP protection, including patents, trade marks, and registered designs.

How can we support advanced engineering and manufacturing companies?

  • From mechanical systems and automated workflows to new materials and processes, innovation is at the core of engineering. Our patent attorneys work with clients to capture patentable inventions and manage portfolios across global markets. We have experience supporting clients to obtain patents in the UK, Europe and internationally for a wide range of engineering technologies, including:

    • Automotive products

    • Renewable technologies such as wind turbines, solar, and heat pumps

    • Electrical machines, e.g., motors and generators

    • Mill drive systems

    • Control and automation systems

    • Digital flatbed cutters and laminating systems

    • Industrial containment and storage systems

    • Nuclear engineering

    • Liquid dispensing systems

    Attorneys who can help you with patent protection in this sector are:

  • In engineering sectors, a strong brand signals quality and expertise. We help register and enforce trade marks for engineering firms and manufacturers, ensuring that brand assets are protected in domestic and international markets.

    Attorneys who can help you with trade mark protection in this sector are:

  • While functionality of advanced engineering products is often key, visual design also matters – especially in user-facing environments. We help protect the distinctive appearance of products such as industrial enclosures, user interfaces, and components by filing registered designs.

Testimonials

  • "We’ve worked with Serjeants for over 15 years, and they have been invaluable in protecting and managing our intellectual property. Their expertise, particularly Darran’s depth of knowledge and practical advice, has guided us through both patent and trade mark matters with confidence. Most recently, they successfully helped us defend one of our international patents at a European trade show. Their team is always quick to respond, easy to work with, and gets what we’re trying to achieve. We truly value the relationship we’ve built over the years. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Serjeants to any business looking for reliable, experienced, and approachable IP experts."

    Martin Evans, Managing Director, Vivid Laminating Technologies Ltd

  • "We have worked with Dean at Serjeants for over 20 years now and have always been extremely satisfied with the service we receive. Their combination of technical literacy, creative drafting and commercial aptitude makes them a powerful partner to any innovator. I could not recommend them more highly."
