Baker Donelson has considerable experience in preparing patent applications related to the oil and gas industry and to the energy sector. We have petroleum engineers and mechanical/industrial engineers who are also registered patent attorneys, all of whom have technical experience in the oil and gas industry.
Most notably, we have recently filed a series of patent applications for the world's first system that enables an operator to generate mini-lateral boreholes in controlled directions many hundreds of feet, obviating the need for the current "perf-and-frac" systems that are so prevalent (and controversial) and exponentially increasing the formation face.
