Since Memjet filed its lawsuit against HP on August 11, 2015, a few dozen commentators have theorized that the suit will affect 3D printing. But it does not look like this case will be the start of the 3D Printing Patent Wars.

In this article, Finnegan attorneys John F. Hornick and Carlos. J. Rosario discuss the case and its implications.
