Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

Gilholm Harrison has extensive experience in advising universities, SMEs and large companies in the area of mechanical and electrical engineering and in drafting and prosecuting patent applications for those inventions. We also advise on the patentability of inventions, freedom to operate, patent licensing and transfers and in opposition and appeal procedures.

In the field of mechanical engineering we have experience in handling a wide range of subject matter from simple mechanical devices to highly engineered and complex mechanical systems. Recent examples of subject matter handled by this firm include gearboxes and braking systems, production line machinery, heavy plant machinery, building materials, offshore engineering, flexible and rigid pipes, wind and wave energy systems and apparatus for garment manufacture.

In the field of electronic engineering we have experience in handling subject matter from single semiconductor devices through to complete network infrastructures. Recent examples of subject matter handled by this firm include field effect transistors, diodes, radio frequency, internet and satellite systems, amplifiers, resonators, radar systems microelectromechanical devices, battery management systems and wireless sensor networks. We also handle applications in the field of computer related hardware including processor design, and memory devices.

We work closely with clients to identify patent filing strategies in order to enable companies to secure a competitive position reinforced by strong and enforceable intellectual property rights.

If you have a patent matter that you would like to discuss, relating to mechanical or electronic engineering, please contact either Heather Regan-Addis in Manchester, John McDonough in York or Simon Black in Glasgow
