BOOM engineers created a hardware component that makes it easier to assemble battery packs, which lowers the barriers to product design and small-scale manufacturing. While it will be shared freely in the organization’s educational programming, the BOOM hopes to sell or license the component to raise funds for their educational activities. The technology was made public at the end of 2021, and a Lex Mundi member firm has already advised the BOOM on the basic requirements around obtaining a patent. Now, the BOOM team is seeking a consultation to determine whether their product is patentable. If possible, and subject to capacity, they would also appreciate assistance filing the patent itself. However, this is a secondary request.
