Automotive

The Automotive industry combines technologies from the mechanical, chemical, artificial intelligence, and computer sectors. Automobiles are one of the most complex products bought by consumers.  The emergence of new entrants into this industry, as well as automated systems and driverless vehicles, create new challenges in the IP realm, while safety and security remain at the forefront.   R&D is becoming increasingly expensive.  New regulations and business models special licensing considerations, including FRAND licenses.  OBWB assists its clients with patents, licensing, trade-secret theft, and other IP-related activities, facilitating innovation in every aspect of the Automotive industry, including:
