Nothing slows the pace of technological advances. Computers, for example, evolved from visions created in science fiction literature, to rooms filled with light blinking mainframes, to desktop microprocessors executing billions of operations a second. DCR's Electrical and Computer Science Group embraces the growth and change within this high-tech industry and is focused on the issues and strategies necessary for sound intellectual property asset protection and exploitation. Firm-wide use of emerging technologies (such as Linux and other open source solutions) lets us integrate our firm with conventional “Brick and Mortar” multinational companies, as well as the “Clicks and Bricks” 21st century virtual companies. Emerging companies especially appreciate DCR's ability to deliver imaginative, viable solutions at fair prices.

A few of the Electrical and Computer Science Practice Group's many successes include:
  • DCR prosecuted and obtained the infamous “Freeny Patent,” U.S. Patent No. 4,528,643, broadly covering the transmission of music, software, and digital images over the Internet. The breadth of the Freeny Patent's claims was upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and is now the basis for worldwide licensing agreements.
  • Successfully prosecuted patent claims covering automated exit strategies for website trading investments- better known as "trailing stops," which have been overwhelmingly adopted by the online investment trading community.
  • Currently used worldwide, the "intelliRock™" technology portfolio was protected by DCR for Engius LLC. The intelliRock™ system is achieving significant industry adoption and allows for rapid concrete construction by profiling concrete's maturity and temperature. This technology was most recently used to replace the I-40 bridge between Oklahoma and Arkansas. The bridge was destroyed in a barge accident and the reconstruction was accomplished in record time.
  • Prosecuting software and business method patents in the field of color conversion and formulation.
Our Electronic and Computer Science Practice Group professionals draw upon sophisticated industry experience and first hand knowledge to provide a full range of services in the areas of: telecommunications, semiconductors, computers, computer networking, digital cameras, software programs, printed circuit boards, weather forecasting technologies, electronic test equipment, and web guiding equipment. Several Electronic and Computer Science Practice Group professionals also have earned M.B.A. degrees which enhances their ability to understand business realities and the need for obtaining broad enforceable business method patents.
