Our 3D technology is comprehensively protected by patent law. With approx. 5,600 patent claims and an average patent term of approximately 15 years.
That is a really expensive business, but it is essential. It allows us to pass on this long-term protection to our 3D community members via licensing agreements.
3D community members obtain long-term exclusivity for their specific applications and, as a result, enjoy a crucial competitive advantage in the market. And they can therefore charge premium prices.
