Cook Alex attorneys have significant experience with a wide range of industrial and mechanical inventions, ranging from complex to seemingly simple yet critical improvements over earlier designs. Our clients’ industrial and mechanical technologies often are integrated with electronics, materials, life sciences, or other technical disciplines, and we are well positioned to provide diverse technical capabilities to meet the challenges involved.

Our firm also provides highly-specialized intellectual property legal services for clients involved in the development, manufacture, distribution and sale of medical devices regulated by the FDA as well as for clients involved with industrial chemicals, agricultural chemicals, consumer-product compositions, waste management, environmental science and many other fields.

Lastly, as the capabilities of computing devices and the complexity of systems increase, companies must continuously integrate new features and functions with existing product lines, which can produce an array of patentable inventions. Our attorneys have experience with a variety of software types, from operating systems and user interfaces to a variety of consumer and industrial application programs. We are experienced in the prosecution of software patent applications and have counseled clients on validity and infringement of software patents in many diverse fields.
