Mechanical Arts

Our attorneys are hands on experts and understand mechanical arts such as components of vehicles, heavy machinery, lathe machines, rockets, consumer products, etc.

Mechatronics and Packaging

In the modern world, "mechanical" rarely means just gears and levers. It means the integration of physical systems with electronics and control logic. Our background in chip packaging, thermal management, and consumer electronics allows us to protect:

• Electronic Packaging: Heat spreaders, interconnects, and enclosure designs that solve thermal and EMI challenges.
• Actuators & Robotics: Precision motion control systems where the innovation lies in the mechanical-electrical interface.
• Industrial Automation: Fixtures and tooling that enable high-volume manufacturing of complex devices.

Drafting For Real-World Enforceability

A strong mechanical application does more than describe a single embodiment. We focus on:

• Clear definition of components, interfaces, and alternative geometries
• Figures that show multiple views and variations that matter
• Parameter ranges and operating conditions that support breadth
• Method claims when the innovation is process or manufacturing driven

Claim Strategy

We typically build layered claims that cover structural features, subassemblies, and systems, plus method claims for assembly or operation when useful. We also consider how competitors might design around by changing dimensions, materials, or attachment methods, and we draft to preserve meaningful fallbacks.

How We Work

1. We review the design, constraints, and what is new compared to prior solutions
2. We identify core claimable concepts and likely design-around attempts
3. We draft the application with strong figure and terminology support
4. We prosecute with an eye toward scope and a clean record
