Innovation in the space sector continues to evolve rapidly – from advanced propulsion and reusable launch systems to in-space manufacturing and advanced materials.
Maximising the value of innovation in this area requires not only legal expertise, but also a deep understanding of the underlying science and engineering. As collaboration continues to underpin advances in the space sector, IP plays a key role in enabling organisations to innovate, share knowledge and build successful partnerships with confidence. With dual-use technologies becoming increasingly important globally, it is vital to have a team behind you who understands the implications for IP in both defence and commercial arenas.
At Dehns, our team of IP experts includes over 50 physics and engineering graduates with strong academic backgrounds in physics, astrophysics and engineering, and expertise across aerospace engineering, AI and quantum technologies. We combine technical insight with strategic IP advice to support clients across the sector, from start-ups to multinational corporations.
We work closely with space clusters, research organisations, and commercial players, including through our partnership with European Space Agency Business Incubation Centre (ESABIC) Norway, to develop IP strategies that support innovation and align with business objectives.
