The Keltie engineering team brings together patent attorneys with a wide range of technical and commercial backgrounds. Our work covers all typical engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, automotive, and aerospace engineering, and many more. We often work with technologies that lie at the interface between these engineering disciplines and other technology areas such as mathematics, software, chemistry, biology and materials. The team includes attorneys with backgrounds in different branches of engineering, as well as in complementary fields including mathematics, physics, computer science, and materials.
