  • Inventor
  • Systems Integrator
  • Research

During his research program at Cornell University, Magno had projects in the field of mechanics and materials, including the development of mechanisms with six degrees of freedom in a kinematic environment exposed to random impacts for drones; and also had collaborated for the 2005 RoboCup team in the Small Size League competition in Osaka, Japan 2005 (2nd place).

As a professional, Magno started as a systems integrator wherein he utilized his skills providing automation services for homes in Mexico, wherein, in order to meet the specific needs of each customer, he identified different tailored solutions that were able to be reflected in innovative devices, methods and systems (currently under patent prosecution), including human-realtime  interaction by motionless means (for people with reduced mobility), which were also developed in his own systems/mechanics/electronics workshop.

Furthermore, since his knowledge about technology became relevant for the IP field in Mexico, Magno started to collaborate for the IP firm Calderon & De La Sierra (C&S), wherein his work was rapidly distinguished by its thorough technical knowledge and legal advice to help clients obtain patents fast.

While his principal activities have traditionally encompassed complex cases and domestic clients, he has also been active in drafting, counseling, prosecution, infringement, searches and strategy for patents, including fields pertaining to business methods, CRM, therapeutics, mechanics, electronics, computer science, telecommunications, materials, hydrocarbons, industrial designs and correlations of these fields, of several multinational technology companies.
