From meeting with colleagues over video chat, to consulting with doctors on a tablet, to adjusting the thermostat or depositing a check with a smartphone, people are connecting and interfacing at an unprecedented level. Communication has never been easier or more complex. As developers bring to market technologies that a few years ago could only be imagined, they often spur intriguing intellectual property challenges. Finnegan has always worked with companies pushing technological boundaries, advocating to help mold the law to accommodate novel innovations. Historical experience gives us perspective and foresight as we work with companies building solutions to bridge distances and facilitate stronger connections.
Our professionals have backgrounds spanning the technologies involved in communications such as network devices, Internet technologies, and big data analytics, to name a few. They work with clients developing next generation products as well as things never seen before to create IP strategies for their businesses entering as well as building new markets.
We help by:
Our Communications practice includes attorneys and professionals with degrees in relevant scientific disciplines such as computer science, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, and physics, as well as attorneys with extensive experience in brand management and protection.

Consumers have access to an ever-growing number of affordable and portable devices designed to provide metrics and details about personal health and lifestyle. In an increasingly connected world, this type of information can be invaluable in helping healthcare professionals provide higher levels of care.
Protecting innovations related to financial services, software, and life sciences has for decades presented unique challenges. Finnegan has played a role in some of the seminal court cases involving the scope of patent protection. With our historical insight and sharp focus on the everchanging patent eligibility landscape, we work with clients across a broad range of technologies.
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.
With new media platforms constantly being created, content providers and distributors are tasked with protecting their content and technology in an everchanging landscape.
