Chocolate Eggs with Faces

“We recently had the opportunity to work with a confectionery company, who had created a new type of chocolate surprise egg. Unlike traditional chocolate eggs, these eggs featured a face engraved on the front, like popular emojis. Our client had created various designs, each with a unique shape, and wanted to protect their product with a patent in a broad manner.

Our team of experienced patent attorneys worked closely with the client to understand their product and develop a patent application that would provide the broadest possible scope of protection. As a result, we drafted a patent with claims covering any face on the chocolate egg, allowing our client to protect their unique product and stand out in the market. Thanks to our expertise in patent law and our commitment to providing high-quality service, we were able to help the client secure their intellectual property rights and position themselves for long-term success in the industry.”

Laser Guided Mini Missile System

We recently worked with one of our clients, Roketsan, who had developed a new type of mini-missile to be launched from a 45 mm grenade launcher. This innovative product featured a compact wing design that was essential to fit into the barrel, as well as a laser seeker head for precision targeting. Additionally, the missile could also be launched from a drone, adding to its versatility and potential applications.

 

Our team of experienced patent attorneys worked closely with the client to protect their intellectual property, drafting a patent application that covered all modules of the missile, including the crucial wing structure. Through our expertise in patent law and our commitment to understanding the technical details of our client’s inventions, we were able to help our clients secure the broadest possible scope of protection for their innovative product.
