Metallurgy, the science and technology of metals and their alloys, is at the forefront of many industries for commercial and consumer end use our slate of experienced and trained professionals have a thorough understanding of metalluric science in that modern metallurgy strives to achieve a balance among environmental considerations, energy efficiency, economic costs, and material properties such as weight, strength, toughness, hardness, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, and performance under extreme conditions. We have had the good fortune to work with a vast array of companies worldwide involved in various branches of metallurgy, including mineral processing to extract valuable metals, physical metallurgy to use and develop metals and their alloys to prepare products for consumers and manufacturers, and chemical metallurgy to use chemical processing to convert minerals from inorganic compounds to valuable metals.
Our team combine their proven legal skill with in-depth technical expertise in metallurgy to counsel our clients in all aspects of intellectual property matters, from obtaining patents to enforcing and challenging issued patents We are experienced and trained to address the common and sometimes complex issues associated with metallurgic based inventions such as “overlapping” ranges, “close enough” arguments and “inherent” properties.
