Dunlap, Codding & Rogers' roots reach back to the 1950's when Jerry J. Dunlap, Oklahoma City's first private practice patent attorney, filed a patent application on August 28, 1958 that resulted in the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 2,944,361 covering a new and innovative "fishing rod holder" - it was only the beginning.

Over the past fifty years, DCR has obtained mechanical patents covering virtually every machine known to man: Innovative oil field equipment that contributed to Oklahoma's oil boom; Concrete and asphalt machinery used to build and connect U.S. highways leading to Oklahoma's unique position as the Crossroads of America; and broad platform patents that helped national and international companies secure their position in the global marketplace.

The Mechanical Practice Group highlights include:
  • Ranked No. 2 in the United States by Patent Ratings LLC for the Quality and Value of Mechanical Patents obtained for DCR's clients (2004).
  • Listed in top 200 Patent Firms by Intellectual Property Today for the past 8 years based upon the number of issued patents.
  • Representing some of the most prolific U.S. inventors, including the most prolific living U.S. inventor, the inventor having the second all time highest number of issued patents, and Oklahoma Inventor Hall of Fame Inductee Bill Swisher of CMI Corporation, whose modern repaving techniques revolutionized roadway construction by allowing for the removal and relaying of pavement in a single operation.
Our mechanical patent success lies in our professionals' wide-ranging expertise and breadth of practical, hands-on experience - aeronautics to automotive parts and accessories, robotic systems to flower pot covers, and fishing lines to pest control devices. Whether the device includes 1 or 1,000,000 parts, DCR's quality and value consistently rises to the top.
