The Copyright Protection In 3D Printing

The rapid development of 3D printing technology has brought great challenges to China’s current copyright law.Due to the different understanding and characterization of the various stages of the 3D printing process,differences in the applicable laws have been caused.Combating and analyzing all aspects of the 3D printing process,3D printing is essentially a copying behavior.Based on the 3D printing source file,the 3D printing process can be used to determine the nature and rights of the 3D printing results.The 3D printing behavior is adjusted using the copyright method.For the provisions of the current copyright law on "copying" and "reasonable use system",their connotation and extension should be appropriately expanded,and the individual use standard in the fair use system should be further explained and explained to meet the needs of 3D printing regulation.Some of the three-dimensional works involved in 3D printing are practical works of art.Therefore,it is necessary to improve the relevant provisions of practical works of art and deductive works,and to define the defining standards of practical works of art.
