Practical Understanding of Complex TechnologiesWhether you are a global technology leader or an entrepreneurial startup with a unique technological niche, Wagner Blecher understands both your products and your applications in computer, electrical and electro-mechanical technologies. Our lawyers, engineers and agents have prosecuted thousands of patents, and among them hold dozens of patents themselves. Our technical focus is broad but emphasizes these key areas: Computers and SoftwareWe have prepared and prosecuted patents in a full range of software and hardware applications. On the hardware side we work with technologies as diverse as hard disk drive components, solid-state memory devices, integrated circuit design, and data storage systems. Software applications that we have patented range from image analysis software and database query software, to streaming media and media compression. We are familiar with the use and application of virtual machines and devices. ElectronicsElectronic systems and devices, including solid-state electronic applications, are a foundation of our technical expertise. Wagner Blecher patent professionals have prosecuted patents for global positioning system devices, hard disk drive components, electronic toys, virtual machines, and touch sensor devices. One of our team members invented, established and helped bring to market the current industry standard for head suspension technology, known as Integrated Lead Suspension (ILS). We have special strengths in laser technology and optical scanning devices, as well as touch sensor devices. Other Technical SpecialtiesThe wide range of other technical applications in which our team has technical background and prosecution experience include:
Business FocusWagner Blecher has prosecuted numerous business method patents, a fact that in no small measure reflects the practical business understanding of our professionals. Members of our firm have worked as design and process engineers in a number of the world's largest electronic and computer companies, with responsibility for implementing productivity improvement and cost reduction programs, and overseeing manufacturing assembly operations as well as test equipment design and evaluation. One team member has extensive military experience in missile and space system design and logistics, another has been CEO and sole proprietor of a business that builds complex electro-mechanical tools, fixtures and workstations. We thus not only understand technology — we know how effective patent prosecution turns technology into competitive advantage. |
