Mechanical/Industrial
Mechanical and industrial innovations are fundamental to the success of businesses ranging from small start-ups to established international corporations. As a result, the members of our Mechanical/Industrial practice group at Bereskin & Parr LLP work with inventors from a wide range of areas such as medical devices, automotive technologies, water treatment systems, injection molding equipment, office furniture, and vacuum cleaners.
Our Mechanical/Industrial practice group is comprised of professionals with diverse educational backgrounds and industry experience, with degrees in mechanical and civil engineering, metallurgy, physics, and nuclear engineering. Many of our professionals also have multi-disciplinary technical experience, which enables us to more effectively protect inventions that include mechanical aspects, in combination with chemical, electrical, and electronic aspects.
Our clients in this area include many local businesses and major corporations, as well as universities both in North America and overseas.
