Patent protection in the security and defence sectors can give you the confidence to invest in cutting edge security and defensive technologies. Patents can also help drive investment in training tools for security, military and law enforcement personnel, all of which ultimately keeps people safe.

Inventions in the security and defence industries can be wide ranging, from cybersecurity software to mechanical security gates. Furthermore, many countries have specific and complex patent rules which apply to inventions deemed relevant to national security. This means securing patent protection for security and defence technologies requires both a wide range of technical understanding across different technical fields and the legal expertise necessary to navigate the complex patent system.
