WASHINGTON, DC — Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, one of the leading intellectual property law firms, has launched a new industry practice group focusing on 3D printing and additive manufacturing. With more than two dozen attorneys with experience in 3D printing-related technologies and legal issues, Finnegan is one of the first law firms to recognize this technology as a specific area of focus with respect to intellectual property issues. 3D printing is the process by which a physical object is created from a three dimensional digital computer model. The “on-demand” and customizable nature of 3D printing results in reduced costs, streamlined inventory control, and greener production, thus leading to advancements in areas such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, fashion, industrial manufacturing, robotics, and software.
John Hornick, head of the firm’s 3D Printing Working Group, commented, “While 3D printing fosters innovation and improves production processes, it cuts across virtually all technology and presents issues in all areas of IP.” He added, “Finnegan’s legal experience, coupled with its expertise in a wide range of technological fields, including electrical and computer, biotechnology, mechanical engineering, materials science, and software, uniquely positions the firm to assist companies to address the multidisciplinary nature of 3D printing, realize its opportunities, and manage its risks.
