June 4, 2019
For Immediate Release
From product design and development to manufacturing, 3D printing has transformed myriad industries and business processes. For the inventors, entrepreneurs, and technologists of tomorrow, however, 3D printing is only the beginning. Innovative organizations are already taking advantage of the next evolution: 4D printing.
According to Offit Kurman IP attorney Laura Winston, 4D printing allows for the production of objects with “programmable materials” that react and change in response to “external stimuli, such as heat, water, or pressure.” Ms. Winston recently moderated an educational session about the technology at The International Trademark Association’s (INTA) 2019 Annual Meeting. The panel, which included HP assistant general counsel Carolyn Knecht and leading U.K. intellectual property attorney Dr. Julian Potter, discussed the numerous opportunities and risks 4D printing presents.
