Research On Copyright Infringement Of 3D Printing Documents

3D printing technology is the crystallization of the development of modern science and technology.It breaks through the traditional manufacturing mode and can produce the objects efficiently and accurately according to the data parameters of the objects by layering and superposition.3D printing eliminates the traditional process of mold making,welding,assembling and polishing.At present,3D printing technology has not been widely applied in the market due to the particularity of 3D printing materials.However,with the increasing maturity and popularization of 3D printing technology,a large number of copyright infringement disputes in the field of 3D printing are bound to break out.The large-scale infringement of 3D printing documents will occur in the process of making,spreading and using printing documents,and the interests of copyright owners will be infringed by many potential infringement subjects.If this problem is not paid attention to and gradually solved,it will undoubtedly restrict the development and application of this technology.In order to better play the technical utility of 3D printing as "the most representative production tool of the fourth industrial revolution",it is necessary to protect the copyright rights of copyright holders.In this paper,under the perspective of 3D printing,printing documents from protecting the interests of the copyright owner,demonstrates the 3D printing documents shall be explicitly included in the copyright law is to protect object,analyzes the 3D printing documents from the creation to the application in the process of the subject and the form and tort liability,tort is put forward to perfect the existing legal provisions,standardization of copyright protection of 3D printing document.This paper consists of six chapters,the first chapter is the introduction,which analyzes the background and significance of writing,and summarizes the research path of domestic scholars on the copyright of 3D printing documents and the research focus of foreign scholars,and introduces the ideas,methods and difficulties of writing.Chapter two introduces 3D printing technology and explores the copyright of 3D printing documents.This chapter introduces the workflow of 3D printer in detail from the working principle of 3D printing technology.This chapter also classifies 3D printing documents from different sources to explore whether they should be protected by copyright law.The third chapter examines the whole process from production to application of 3D printing documents,and analyzes possible copyright infringement subjects in the process from original document production to printing.This paper focuses on the identification,performance and form of infringement of the original document in the process of network communication.Chapter four explores the exception of infringement of 3D printed documents,namely fair use.With the development of 3D printing technology,more and more individuals will use 3D printing to make their own articles.The current fair use system cannot effectively protect the interests of the copyright holders of printed documents.By comparing China's fair use system with the rules of fair use in the United States,Germany and other countries,the deficiencies in China's fair use system are analyzed.Chapter five analyzes the tort liability caused by copyright infringement of 3D printing documents.According to the basic principle of tort liability and 3D printing documents,the definition of tort liability,the characteristics of tort liability and the elements of tort constitution of 3D printing documents are analyzed respectively.Based on the shortcomings of copyright law in China under the background of 3D printing and the advanced experience in overseas protection of 3D printing documents,chapter six puts forward suggestions on how to strengthen the protection of copyright owners' interests under the background of 3D printing.First,3D printing documents are included in the scope of works protected by copyright law to better protect the rights and interests of the copyright holders of printed documents.Second,improve the indirect tort system.By improving the indirect infringement system,the network service communication platform will strengthen the idea of protecting the interests of copyright holders and further improve the measures of technology protection.Third,reconstruct the fair use system.In the era of 3D printing where everyone can become a producer,the utility of balancing the public interest and the interests of copyright holders can be exerted by restricting the scope of fair use and setting the applicable standard of fair use system.Fourth,relax the legal licensing conditions for 3D printing documents and establish a collective copyright management system.In order to reduce the risk of copyright infringement for the users of printing documents,and better promote the development and application of 3D printing technology and the protection of the interests of copyright holders.
