Manufacturing is part of our work in Chemical, Industrial, and Materials.
Manufacturing powers the world’s economy and is a large, diverse, and highly innovative sector. From farm machinery to chemicals to telecommunications and everything in between, manufacturing plays a crucial role in producing goods across all aspects of the economy. Manufacturers constantly develop new products, enhance supply chains, improve inventory control, and face increased competition. To expand market share, increase profitability, and remain competitive, innovations need solid protection and practical enforcement strategies. Finnegan has a long history of working with manufacturers of all sizes. Like our clients, we never stop working.
Finnegan professionals work on a wide range of projects for manufacturing companies, including Fortune 100 and Global 1000 companies. Our work includes building portfolios to protect innovations that better measure machine workflow; patent mapping and mining alternative energy landscapes; negotiating and drafting worldwide manufacturing licenses; developing comprehensive IP protection for aftermarket parts; analyzing government contracts in the aeronautical field; counseling clients on export controls for computer equipment; and litigating before the U.S. International Trade Commission.
We handle matters for clients in virtually every sector:
