Is a Design Reform Needed? 3D Printing and Virtual Printing

This presentation will provide an overview of the commissioned project completed for the European Commission in April 2020. Combining an in-depth legal analysis with empirical data drawn from interviews with 40+ industry stakeholders, the talk will draw on the findings as well as setting out the conclusions and recommendations from seven sectors which were explored, as part of this project. Amongst them, the health sector was considered, and the presentation will further provide an insight into some of the findings to be considered during the current pandemic.
The invited talk was delivered as part of the seminar series of Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law (CIPIL) at University of Cambridge.
