*‘You wouldn’t download a car’ – 3D Printing, file-sharing and ‘piracy’*



Prominent in discussions about the social and cultural dimensions of 3D
printing has been the effect that it may have on intellectual property, in
terms of how and when new intellectual property rights are created by the
3D printing process, and how and when the intellectual property of others
may be infringed. Given intellectual property disputes, especially around
filesharing, have been one of the defining features of the legal battles
around the Internet, there is great anticipation of whether similar
conflicts will be witnessed with 3D printing. However, while copyright was
mainly at issue in the Internet context, 3D printing also implicates other
areas of intellectual property, notably patents, design rights and trade
marks. This presentation explores this interaction, in theoretical terms,
as well as looking at how the relationship between 3D printing and
intellectual property is playing out so far in practice.



Angela Daly is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Swinburne Institute
for Social Research, affiliate of the Swinburne Law School and a research
associate (adjunct) at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology and
Society (Netherlands). Her specialties lie in the interaction between law
and new technologies, encompassing a range of areas including privacy, free
expression, data protection, intellectual property, and competition and
regulation. Her latest research is on socio-legal aspects of 3D printing,
which will be published in monograph form with Palgrave Macmillan in early
2016. In March 2016, she will join Queensland University of Technology’s
Law Faculty as Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellow, working on a project
examining the regulation of the decentralised production of (renewable)
energy in Australia and the European Union.
