At PURDYLUCEY, we help clients turn engineering breakthroughs into protected, strategically valuable assets.

Once your invention is proven commercially viable, securing a patent is a critical next step. A strong patent not only protects against copying and reverse engineering—it also safeguards R&D investment and strengthens your competitive position. In industries with long development cycles, IP is often the most effective way to recover costs and support future growth.

Today’s engineering challenges extend far beyond traditional mechanics. Our clients are developing robotics, smart systems, 3D printing technologies, advanced materials, and software-integrated hardware—often blending disciplines in new and inventive ways. Protecting this kind of innovation requires advisers who understand how modern engineering works in practice.

Led by founding Director Michael Lucey, our specialist team includes attorneys with backgrounds in mechanical engineering, electronics, software, photonics and applied computing. Before entering the patent profession, many gained hands-on experience in the tech and engineering industries, giving them a sharp commercial perspective and technical fluency.

We support a wide range of technologies—from aerospace and automotive systems to manufacturing tools and embedded control software—providing commercially focused advice shaped by real-world application and examiner expectations.

Strategic filing, even for inventions you may not take to market, can create uncertainty for competitors and reinforce your position. From concept to deployment, we collaborate with engineering-led businesses to safeguard the technologies that drive their success.
