Shaping the future of 3D printing IP

We're globally recognised as experts in this field

Many of the IP rules for 3D printing are still being written. And we’re at the forefront of developing the regulations. Marks & Clerk’s professionals are globally recognised as experts in this field and, as such, are working with intellectual property arbitrators such as the European Patent Office. We’re helping them understand the challenges posed by 3D printing and devise long-term solutions.

Technical and legal expertise

We have a dedicated team of 3D printing specialists, with detailed technical understanding of this area and the legal talent to match. It’s this combination of technical and legal expertise that’s so powerful. We can guide you through the complexities of this area and bring clarity to your decision-making.

Marks & Clerk’s professionals are not just experts in this field, but across many relevant technologies and sectors. We work collaboratively to ensure your IP is fully protected, enforced and commercialised.

Clients

Our 3D printing team works with companies both using 3D printing to deliver ever more innovative products, and companies who rely on manufacturing innovation and can’t afford to see their products infringed. Whatever your size and sector, wherever you are in the world, we have you covered. Even if 3D printing doesn’t seem a possibility for your products now, it’s important to protect your IP for the future.
