Rail
We understand the challenges faced by the Rail sector. Overcrowding due to Covid, competition from short haul aviation and planning constraints are all issues to be overcome in securing a successful future. Such challenges present an opportunity for innovation and progression in what has traditionally been a relatively static sector. From our own experience we are already seeing exciting opportunities for innovation in areas such as Smart mobility, Reduced carbon and Digitisation technologies.
Our experience
We work with a wide range of Rail Industry organisations from a global provider of rail equipment, systems, digital solutions, and value-added services down to technology start-ups dealing with Artificial Intelligence engine management systems for hydrogen power units.
Specific areas of experience include Braking & Suspension Systems, Powertrains & Energy Storage, Interior systems and Autonomous systems & Route Planning.
Our expertise
Our dedicated Rail group draws from the enthusiasm and expertise of our wider group of attorneys, including engineering materials, fluid dynamics, automotive, electronics, software and machine learning specialists who all have an insight into how these technologies can be employed effectively in the rail sector.
We continue to build and share knowledge of the sector among group members by engaging with our rail industry clients to build a clearer appreciation of the challenges and engaging with organisations such as the Rail Industry Association (of which we are members) to maintain our understanding of this complex industry sector.
We can assist in designing an IP strategy and budget that is aligned with your business objectives, to help ensure your R&D and IP budgets are delivering best value.
