Industrial engines (like those used in generators, ships, and heavy vehicles, for example) and construction machinery (such as excavators, cranes, and bulldozers) are sectors where product innovation, while sometimes incremental, is very important for competitiveness. Patents provide essential protection for improvements in performance, durability, and safety. For example, if you were to develop a new type of fuel injection system that improves a diesel engine’s efficiency or emissions, a patent would ensure that only you (or your licensees) could make, sell or use that system.

Innovations in industrial engines and construction machinery can have worldwide applications, requiring a breadth of experience navigating the patent systems of various countries to secure adequate protection. Furthermore, the mechanical nature of patents in these fields requires very careful patent drafting to secure a broad scope of protection that cannot be easily circumvented by competitors.
At Dolleymores, our expert patent attorneys have extensive experience working with mechanical inventions and have a strong network of associates across the world to ensure your invention can be protected wherever necessary. A few examples of the technology areas we have worked in include:
