European Patent Support for Mechanical Engineering Innovations

Mechanical engineering is one of the strongest and most innovative technology sectors in Europe — with Germany at its industrial core. Companies worldwide seek reliable patent protection in Europe to secure market access and safeguard competitive advantage.

DTS is a trusted European partner for international companies and foreign patent attorneys who require high-quality representation in European and German patent matters in the field of mechanical engineering and general mechanics.

We regularly assist clients who have already filed first applications in jurisdictions such as the United States or Japanand now wish to pursue robust protection through the European Patent Office (EPO) and national validation in Europe.

Technical Expertise in Mechanical Engineering and General Mechanics

Our patent attorneys and patent engineers have extensive experience in a broad range of mechanical technologies, including:

• drive systems and vehicle-related engineering
• industrial machinery and manufacturing technologies
• automation, conveying systems, and mechanical components
• measurement, control, and regulation technologies
• materials, technical structures, and production processes

Many modern mechanical inventions also incorporate elements of electronics and software. Our interdisciplinary approach ensures that complex, cross-technology innovations are drafted and prosecuted with the necessary depth and precision.
