3D Printing and Beyond – Intellectual Property and Regulation.
Edited by Dinusha Mendis, William H. Neukom, and Matthew Rimmer.
Recently, we had the pleasure of launching a new book on the legal and regulatory implications of 3D printing, edited by DMRC member, Professor Matthew Rimmer, from the QUT Law Faculty, and colleagues Dinusha Mendis (Bournemouth University) and William H. Neukom (Stanford University). Michael Dezuanni introduced the book by speaking about maker spaces, and amateur maker cultures, including in the disability sector.
About the book:
This ground-breaking and timely contribution is the first and most comprehensive edited collection to address the implications for Intellectual Property (IP) law in the context of 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing. Providing a coverage of IP law in three main jurisdictions including the UK, USA and Australia. 3D Printing and Beyond brings together a team of distinguished IP experts and is an indispensable starting point for researchers with an interest in IP, emerging technologies and 3D printing.

Praise for 3D Printing and Beyond:
‘3D Printing and Beyond is a thoroughly considered and impressive exposition of US, UK, and Australian IP law in the context of 3D printing. The distinguished group of authors, all of whom are thought leaders on the issues of 3D printing and IP, explore the law as it exists and perceived gaps, potential market responses to 3D printing-driven democratization of manufacturing, whether new laws are needed and what they would look like, and the applicability and enforceability of current and future IP laws in a 3D printed world. Interspersed with detailed analyses of the potential impact of 3D printing on patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and trade dress, and design laws, and the effect of such laws on 3D printing, are intellectually stimulating essays on the potential economic and societal effects of 3D printing. The book wraps up with a fascinating discussion of the emerging issue of 3D printcrime. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of IP law and 3D printing, and beyond.’ – John Hornick, Finnegan LLP |
