Ready For Launch: How to Protect Space Tech

With Artemis II launched in April of this year, the first human mission beyond low Earth orbit since 1972, we are gearing up for the next generation of space technology. Science is undergoing a space revolution and the possibilities are out of this world. From in-space manufacturing in areas as wide-reaching as pharmaceuticals and semiconductors to reusable rockets, we are moving beyond space exploration and entering a new era of space commercialisation. In this episode, Managing Associate Peter Herrick and Associate William Wathey from Mathys & Squire discuss the big question: does patent law extend to space? When inventions are launched from the Earth’s surface, leaving the orderly realm of terrestrial law, how can we manage their ownership and protection? #Space #SpaceTechnology #SpaceInnovation
