Advanced materials
Advanced materials, from nanomaterials and high-strength alloys to smart polymers and composites, are at the heart of progress in aerospace, automotive, electronics, and healthcare, to name a few. As a result, by protecting your material invention, patents can help you to leverage your research for commercial gain in a wide range of industries.
Developing a new material can be extremely costly and time-consuming, involving experimental trials, characterisation, and often highly specialised equipment. Patents play an important role in this process by giving companies and research institutions exclusive rights to novel materials or fabrication methods, encouraging heavy investment in materials R&D.
Patents are also valuable because advanced materials often become platform technologies. For example, a patented nanomaterial might be useful in batteries, medical devices, and semiconductors. Broad patent protection allows you, as the patentee, to license your patent across multiple industries.
At Dolleymores, our patent attorneys have extensive experience, in countries around the world, successfully securing patent protection for inventions related to advanced materials. A few examples of the technology areas we have worked in include:
