12:20pm Luncheon: The Law of Shapes to Come—3D Printing and IP Law
3D printers have the potential—like photocopiers, Betamaxes, and MP3s before them—to disrupt IP protection. With the rise of affordable 3D printers, the shape of a product is becoming more important than ever. Think of the possibilities—anyone can download plans from a file-sharing service (like Napster or LimeWire) and print their own replacement parts, jewelry, or housewares. Trademark blogger Marty Schwimmer (www.trademarkblog.com) discusses how a product’s shape can be protected under copyright, trade dress, and patent law.
