Leading the way in IP protection for Medical Technologies and Renewable Energies.

Our specialized H&A team for medical technologies and renewable energies is composed of technical experts with industry experience and former examiners of important Patent Offices. We offer comprehensive support during the entire patent process to leverage your R&D investments.

  1. Rising Trends in Patent Applications

    Statistics published by the European Patent Office (EPO) in recent years show that inventions in medical technology have been under the leading fields in terms of the volume of patent applications filed. At the same time, renewable energies remain one of the most active fields across all patent offices.

  1. Complex Nature of Medical Technologies

    New medical technologies involve physics, biology, mechanics and artificial intelligence combined. A deep understanding of all these fields is essential for a good protection of all aspects related to inventions in the medical field, be they related to imaging, early diagnosis, rehabilitation, ophthalmology and optics, therapeutic use of radiation or others.

  1. Growth in Clean Technologies

    Likewise, patents on inventions in renewable energies and solutions against climate change (Clean Technologies) are on the increase, being this a fast-growing field where it is necessary to keep up to date with all the advances. Our team of IP experts specializes in cutting-edge technologies such as innovations related to carbon capture, recycling, solar energy, nuclear energy, wind turbines, fuel cells and energy storage.

  1. Comprehensive IP Services

    In addition, H&A's European and Latin American patent attorneys have extensive experience in the preparation of expert reports, patentability studies, development of cost-effective strategies for the protection of innovations, appeals, opposition defense, infringement risk studies and freedom to operate (FTO) reports.

  1. Expertise in Litigation and Licensing

    Some of our attorneys also have extensive experience participating as experts in litigation cases and have collaborated in some of the most important patent infringement/invalidity cases in Spain, assisting lawyers in the technical part of the judicial process.

Our patent attorneys and agents also regularly collaborate with H&A's team of lawyers in licensing cases. In this way, we can guarantee our clients the best possible advice.
