Technical patent experience
Areas of technical expertise
Mechanical

Subsea oil and gas equipment, downhole tools, well intervention apparatus, flow control, and oilfield mechanical hardware. We claim apparatus and method independently to survive design-arounds.

Case example
Subsea well intervention apparatus, AU granted. Apparatus and method claimed independently; method claim protects the operating principle regardless of future geometry changes.
Electrical

Building climate and energy systems, HVAC, membrane-based energy exchange, liquid desiccant air delivery, and heat exchange assemblies. Multi-application portfolios protecting a platform at component, system, and method level.

Case example
Membrane energy exchange platform: coordinated family of AU applications covering the assembly, the heat exchange method, the desiccant control system, and the evaporative cooling variant separately.
Software

Computer-implemented inventions, distributed SaaS architectures, control algorithms, and predictive systems. Claims drafted at the technical-improvement-to-a-technical-system level to survive Alice-style scrutiny.

Case example
Distributed microservices cache invalidation protocol: AU and PCT filing with method claims focused on the technical effect, not the abstract idea.
Mining

Rock drilling equipment, ore processing systems, centrifugal concentrators, slurry sampling, wear monitoring, and underground mining hardware. 25 years working with Australian mining equipment manufacturers.

Case example
Batch centrifugal concentrator bowl, AU granted. Apparatus claims cover the bowl geometry; method claims cover the concentration process independently. Gekko Systems Pty Ltd.
Automation

Industrial control systems, robotic assemblies, sensor networks, and process automation hardware. Apparatus claims paired with method claims to protect the operational sequence as well as the device.

Case example
Closed-loop materials handling controller: apparatus and method claimed in parallel; method survives substitution of the underlying actuator hardware.
FPGA

Programmable logic architectures, signal-processing pipelines, hardware-accelerated algorithms, and configurable compute systems. Claims targeted to the architectural innovation rather than a specific silicon process.

Case example
FPGA-based real-time vision pipeline: claims structured around the pipeline architecture so the patent survives migration between FPGA families.

“Belinda is a technically excellent attorney who can not only do an excellent job but work with you to achieve the commercial outcome you need. She will be clear with you about what is achievable, and there is never a surprise with the bill.”
