The harshest environment on Earth presents unique challenges that continue to inspire and drive innovation. Approximately 71% of Earth's surface, an area of some 361 million square kilometres (139.5 million square miles), is covered by ocean. And our oceans present opportunity for a wide array of industries, from shipping to energy generation, communications networks to food chain.
We are proud to have a team who have hands on patent experience in a diverse spectrum of marine-based fields, from offshore energy innovation including patents in drilling and pile driving, to floating offshore wind turbines.
Our substantial experience in the wider communications field sees us well placed to support clients in this area, in both surface and subsea communications covering radar and sonar to cable laying technologies. And with our defence expertise, we can go even deeper with our understanding.
Working alongside inventors, our ability to understand and interpret inventions, backed by a wealth of relevant knowledge, enables us to provide the best levels of legal support to secure and then protect against IntellectualProperty infringement.
Our experience with mechanical engineering, communications and energy make Openshaw & Co. perfectly placed to support our clients with their IP portfolios in the evolving marine and associated industries.
