Internet of Things (IoT) is part of our work in Communications, and Electronics and Information Technology.
With the prospect of collecting data from every conceivable object on the planet, IoT has revolutionized how people do business. Whether it be in the field of IoT-enabled homes, cars, industrial manufacturing, supply chains, medical electronics, personal devices, or agriculture, IoT is limited only by the designer’s imagination in creating new applications and adding value. It increases profits for existing products by improving their performance and reducing their manufacturing and maintenance costs. It provides additional revenue streams for businesses selling data collected from new IoT devices. And it allows developers to access and analyze information in different ways to create unique services at a level never before seen. These innovations come with intellectual property challenges for both innovators and users.
At its core, IoT is a network of “things,” or physical objects, each embedded with electronics, sensors, and network capability that enable them to report data about themselves to anyone over the Internet. Our attorneys understand how IoT uses new technologies across many different areas—such as sensors, networks, big data, analytics, artificial intelligence, and security—to provide innovative solutions for an ever-growing smart and connected world. Finnegan has helped companies patent, license, and litigate IP in these areas for decades.
Finnegan fully appreciates the global consumer demands and business environment that our clients face delivering IoT products in the age of connectivity. Our deep bench of professionals includes many with advanced technical degrees—disciplines include computer science, security informatics, electrical and computer engineering, information science and systems, telecommunications, and physics—as well as decades of experience practicing IP law. We have experience with both network devices and Internet technologies, extending from single devices, such as personal consumer electronics, to complex systems spanning across the globe.
We help IoT innovators develop sophisticated, comprehensive, and tailored IP strategies to meet their individual needs by:
