Antti Maaranen

"A significant invention is rarely based on entirely new technology. That’s why assessing patentability is so important."

Antti Maaranen supports Kolster’s clients primarily in protecting electrical and mechanical innovations.

In addition to the physical structures of power converters, switchgear, power supplies, rotating electrical machines, and electrical installation equipment, Antti has secured protection for solutions related to the control and monitoring of electrical assemblies and power grids, as well as inventions concerning the cooling and moisture management of electrical equipment assemblies. He is also familiar with innovations in electricity generation, covering everything from solar and wind power to conventional condensing and back-pressure power plants.

Over the years, Antti has also protected innovations in areas such as security printing products, packaging, plastic molding technology, pump assemblies, and various mechanical machines and structures.

A common theme in many of the electrical inventions Antti has worked on is improved energy efficiency. He points out that the development of wind and solar technologies demonstrates how even small individual inventions can, collectively, drive major change.
