Drawing on the results of a project completed for the European Commission, the talk will consider the IP implications arising from 3D printing and 3D scanning, with particular focus on copyright and cultural organisations. In doing so, the presentation will give an insight into the IP implications surrounding the 3D printing and scanning process, from the perspective of designing a CAD file to sharing, printing and distributing it.

Cambridge Information and Intellectual Property Meeting (CIIPM) for Legal Practitioners will be held virtually for the first time. The theme of the event will be ‘Maximising your IP Portfolio with ‘2020’ Vision’. Professor Dinusha Mendis will join speakers from industry, policy and academia to discuss future innovations and its implications for IP law. In particular, Professor Mendis will focus on the implications for 3D printing, with an emphasis on the past, present and future.
