3D Printing Webinar Series: Intellectual Property
 
Thursday, April 6, 2017
12:30 pm – 1:30 pm EDT

Additive manufacturing — commonly referred to as 3D printing — is on the rise. Already in commercial use in various industries, it is only a matter of time before the development of 3D ink pens and desktop 3D printers makes the technology a household concept. As with any new technology, 3D printing brings with it a host of new questions surrounding intellectual property, product liability, insurance, tax and other significant legal issues. 

The Gartner Group predicts that 3D printing will result in the global loss of at least $100 billion per year in intellectual property by 2018. The first of our four-part series on 3D printing will focus on the issues that users and manufacturers of 3D printers and 3D printed objects encounter involving patents, trademarks and copyrights and the steps that can be taken to protect intellectual property rights.
