Interacting with devices in the digital era

  • Interacting with devices in the digital era

    The speed of digital change has triggered a rise in innovative solutions for human-machine interfaces (HMI) and the need to protect them through IP rights. Depending on the nature of the solution, either a patent or a design might be better suited to grant IP protection.
