Mobile

Mobile technology is one of today’s fastest-growing areas of innovation.

Hardware advances associated with these devices have resulted in greater processing power and data storage capabilities, which in turn have facilitated voluminous innovations in software and mobile apps.

At Hamilton Brook Smith Reynolds, we recognize that mobile technologies are rapidly expanding beyond smartphones, to applications such as wearable devices, Internet of Things (IoT) components (hardware, software and support), and mobile platforms, such as tablets and notebook/netbook computers.

We work closely with our mobile technology clients to acquire IP protection for their innovations. Our attorneys have the technical background and insight necessary to help our clients recognize protectable innovations and to develop meaningful, robust IP protection strategies for those innovations. The lists below itemize a few examples of mobile technology areas in which we can help to secure IP protection.
