SmarTech Analysis Announces Release of New Report Analyzing 3D-Printed Metals Patents, Reveals Patent Strengths and Weaknesses of Leading 3D Printing Firms

CROZET, Va., July 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industry analyst firm SmarTech Analysis has published its latest metal 3D printing patent report. The new report,  3D Printed Metals: A Patent Landscape Analysis 2019 reveals hidden opportunities and threats, as well as company specific strengths and weaknesses based on objective “P-Score” analysis of the 3D-printed metals sector using  Wisdomain’s ActionablePatents automated patent grading system.

About the Report

Companies covered in this report include 3D Systems, Arcam, Arconic, Batelle, Boeing, Desktop Metal, EOS, ExOne, GE, HC Starck, Halliburton, HP, Honeywell, Johnson Matthey, Raytheon, Ricoh, Sciaky, Siemens, United Technologies, Velo3D, and Xerox. The report analyzes 3D metals printing-related activities of leading universities and institutions. In addition to institutional coverage, 3D Printed Metals: A Patent Landscape Analysis 2019 identifies the leading inventors in the 3D-printed metals field, who they work for, and the value of their patented inventions. SmarTech’s patent analysis also reveals the degree to which the public corporate strategy of major firms in the 3D printing metals space is backed up (or not) by patent strategy.

This report includes an Excel database containing 1,381 worldwide patent references for 3D printing metals and processes used to make them. This database will be a valuable resource to anyone researching the worldwide patent landscape for 3D printing metals. It enables them to determine the top cited patents in their field, how many patents are being filed each year, what patent families are already claimed and where new patent rights may be available. SmarTech’s research covers both granted patents and published applications. The information is drawn from U.S., EP, WIPO PCT, Chinese, and Japanese sources.

SmarTech believes that this report will enable purchasers to build competitive advantage based on a deeper understanding of the patent environment. For example, readers will be able to secure IP in the 3D printed metals areas that are less populated, and also avoid patent disputes in the future. We believe this report will be required reading for IP professionals at firms supplying metals to the 3DP industry as well as those at 3D printing equipment and service companies. It is also aimed at patent attorneys, engineers, investment bankers and others who need a comprehensive overview of 3D-printed metals activities.
