Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) present novel challenges for businesses looking to invest in intellectual property. Protecting those investments and understanding the innovation landscape is where Finnegan comes in.

Innovation in the AR/VR space takes many forms, including branding, digital media, software, hardware, designs, and other intellectual assets. Navigating the IP landscape in this rapidly evolving marketplace is a complex endeavor.

Finnegan has a long history of working with automakers and suppliers in the automotive industry building legal strategies designed to help protect, advocate, and leverage their high-value IP assets.

Innovative technologies that produce renewable, clean, efficient, and affordable energy are paramount in the quest to solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

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.

The overlap between technological innovations and their application to products and services has created new markets and opportunities for collaboration. Highly prized intellectual property assets typically drive these advances. Decades of working with industry leaders in computer hardware and software, information technology, the Internet, telecommunications, and more, have given us a deep understanding of how those industries have evolved and where they are heading.

Technical advances in core electronic devices and components make possible the better, smarter, and faster capabilities on demand and driving innovation. Finnegan has a long history of representing leading companies in this highly competitive field, including semiconductor manufacturers and device and component innovators.

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.

Innovative companies are developing products with myriad applications, such as tiny batteries, nano-structured surfaces that ward off bacteria, magnetically-controlled microbots, and nanofilament-impregnated contact lenses capable of enabling an HD virtual reality or augmented reality display at a user’s eye.

Technological advances in the fields of semiconductors, sensors, digital imaging, wireless communications, control software, and material science have contributed to the resurgence in robotics research and development. Finnegan works with leaders and innovators in the diverse markets that have contributed to recent and evolving developments in the robotics arena.
