Research On The Balance Mechanism Of Copyright Interest In 3D Printing

Since its inception,3D printing technology has attracted wide attention and has been praised as a technology with great prospects.British "Economist" magazine compares it with steam engines and electric power,and believes that this technology has the power to lead a new industrial revolution.All kinds of praise are due to 3D printing technology to subvert the previous production model,linking the design link with the production link.As long as a digital model is designed to connect a 3D printer with a computer,the three-dimensional object can be quickly produced by controlling the computer.In the context of advanced network technology,there have been many 3D printing model sharing network platforms With the development of technology,3D printers will gradually become popular in the home,which makes a large number of consumers become an important group of three-dimensional reproduction.Since private copying belongs to the category of fair use,copyright owners of 3D printing models cannot pursue private copying.The responsibilities of the rights holders and the lack of protection of 3D printing by copyright laws have resulted in the protection of the rights of copyright owners and the unbalanced interests between the 3D printing copyright owners and the public.Therefore,it is necessary to construct new copyright interest mechanisms to balance each other.Party relationship.The article is based on the influence of the development of 3D printing technology on the balance mechanism of copyright law interests.The ultimate goal is to achieve 3D printing by fine-tuning laws and regulations of copyright laws and adopting technical means such as building a 3D printing model database.The balance between private interests and public interests.By considering the content and objectives of the balance of copyright interests from a macro perspective,it is concluded that the balance of interests between 3D printing copyright owners and individual printers should be achieved in 3D printing.It is necessary to protect the exclusive rights of 3D printing copyright owners and meet the requirements.The personal printer's contact and use of 3D printed works can achieve the purpose of promoting the development of 3D printing technology and promoting economic progress.Combined with the specific features of 3D printing technology,the copyright law needs to strengthen the protection of the works in 3D printing and redefine the scope of reasonable use in order to realize the balance of interests in the 3D printing process.The 3D printing process can be divided into a digital model stage and a three-dimensional object finishing stage.The three-dimensional object is formed based on the digital model.The digital model may originate from the design of the engineer,or the conversion of documents in other formats or the documents formed by scanning other three-dimensional objects.Therefore,the copyright of the 3D printing model and the three-dimensional object must be discussed separately.Attributes.The model designed by the engineer itself is original and may constitute a graphic work or art work when it meets the formal requirements.The 3D printed matter may constitute an artwork or a practical work of art.After clarifying that 3D printing should be protected by copyright law,further analysis of the unbalanced performance of copyright interests in 3D printing: a.Most of the items formed by individuals through 3D printing are everyday items that have both appreciation value and practical value.The definition of practical works of art in our country's laws is ambiguous,which is not conducive to the protection of 3D printing results;b,3D printing obtains 3D prints from models,or 3D prints obtains 3D models through scanning;it only changes the composition of the works.However,the “Copyright Law”does not specify whether the scope of reproduction includes alien copies;c.The 3D printing model can be disseminated through the Internet.Many existing model websites are not sound,and basically do not examine whether the uploader has the right to disseminate the model.And because there is no protection technology for the spread of 3D printing design files,indirect infringement in 3D printing is serious.D,using 3D printing technology can easily achieve replication,when the popularity of 3D printers in the home,ordinary consumers can even print out their own items required by the printer,so the scale of private copy is immeasurable,need to re-discuss the rational use of the system.By seeking reasons and examining relevant regulations and measures at home and abroad,the article improves the balance mechanism of copyright interest in 3D printing from two dimensions.The first is to improve the current relevant legal systems: the definition of practical works of art,and the protection of practical works of art.Model;expand the boundaries of the right to reproduce,incorporate the heteromorphic copy;narrow the scope of rational use;redefine the meaning of the use of “non-commercial purposes”;secondly,propose new technical means to avoid the occurrence of indirect infringement,in order to form 3D.Print the scientific system of the balance mechanism of copyright interests.
