INDUSTRIES

Industrial

As business evolves through a second industrial revolution—this one to smart factories, AI and next-level technology— industrial intellectual property has become more complex—and more critical.

Beyond the competitive need to innovate, industrial companies navigate challenges like supply chain shortages and sustainability demands with a creativity that sparks new designs, products and methods—all of which must be secured.

Industrial companies in a variety of verticals turn to Erise for practical, effective IP protection. Our client roster comprises leaders in engineering, defense, utility, telecommunications, transportation, food processing and more.

Erise’s lean staffing philosophy—to match experienced legal talent with scientific and technical advisors—is a critical success factor for industrial IP law, which demands the integration of many different technical specialties, from mechanical to electrical to software. By combining legal and technical acumen, and drilling down into our clients’ business objectives, we provide strategic counsel through every phase of operations.
