Automation technology enables the (largely) autonomous operation of machines and plants. In addition to the classical application in manufacturing, we are currently experiencing a very dynamic growth in the applications of robotics in many fields, e.g. in the areas of autonomous driving and flying (drones) as well as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eblum.ch\/en\/areas-of-technology\/medtech\/\">medical technology<\/a>. This development is in particular enabled and driven by the increasing connectivity of a large number of devices and sensors (<a href=\"https:\/\/eblum.ch\/en\/areas-of-technology\/internet-of-things-iot\/\">Internet of Things<\/a>, Industry 4.0), by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/eblum.ch\/en\/areas-of-technology\/artificial-intelligence-ai-machine-learning\/\">machine learning<\/a>&nbsp;and by new&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Comparison_of_mobile_phone_standards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mobile phone standards<\/a>&nbsp;such as 5G. According to many studies, Switzerland plays a&nbsp;leading role&nbsp;in this area, which needs to be properly protected by intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, robotics is also very challenging under patent law aspects and regularly requires an interdisciplinary approach, which may advantageously be pursued by a team of experts. In addition, many innovations in this field are implemented as software.
