Sutherland has a growing number of attorneys with undergraduate and advanced degrees in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering and computer engineering. Many of those attorneys have also worked as engineers or researchers within a variety of industries. Others have served as examiners at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Their technical knowledge and backgrounds enable a faster and more in-depth understanding of the areas in which our clients have intellectual property interests.
