The event highlighted the important role of science and technology in society and the need to engage the wider public in debates on emerging issues. It also focused on the importance and relevance of science and technology in our daily lives.
The growth of 3D technologies impacts on intellectual property (IP) law, leading to a number of implications including copyright, design and licensing issues amongst others. Such challenges question the enforcement, object and purpose of IP laws whilst exploring the opportunities presented through this technology.
These were some of the issues which Professor Dinusha Mendis touched upon, in her invited talk at the Managing Alternatives for Privacy, Property and Internet Governance (MAPPING) Project IP-themed event in Sofia, Bulgaria on 1-2 June 2017.
