(2) A right in a registered design shall not subsist in features of appearance of a product which must necessarily be reproduced in their exact form and dimensions so as to permit the product in which the design is incorporated or to which it is applied to be mechanically connected to, or placed in, around or against, another product so that either product may perform its function.
1C(1) A right in a registered design shall not subsist in features of appearance of a product which are solely dictated by the product’s technical function.
Registered Designs Act 1949
7A(2) The right in a registered design is not infringed by—
(a) an act which is done privately and for purposes which are not commercial;

213(3) [Unregistered] Design Right does not subsist in—
(a) a method or principle of construction,(b) features of shape or configuration of an article which—
(i) enable the article to be connected to, or placed in, around or against, another article so that either article may perform its function, or(ii) are dependent upon the appearance of another article of which the article is intended by the designer to form an integral part, or
(c) surface decoration.
Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988
226(1) The owner of design right in a design has the exclusive right to reproduce the design for commercial purposes—
(a) by making articles to that design, or(b) by making a design document recording the design for the purpose of enabling such articles to be made.

(a) by making articles to that design, or(b) by making a design document recording the design for the purpose of enabling such articles to be made.
Non-commercial use does not infringe these rights (see Copinger and Skone James §13-144).
A private user may make a design and may also make a design document (e.g. a 3D design file).

Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 19884(1) In this Part “artistic work” means—
(a) a graphic work, photograph, sculpture or collage, irrespective of artistic quality,(b) a work of architecture being a building or a model for a building, or(c) a work of artistic craftsmanship.
A 3D object may well be a sculpture. But what is a ‘work of artistic craftsmanship’?
![Page 22: PowerPoint · PPT file · Web view · 2017-04-113D Printing and Intellectual ... Arial MS Pゴシック Times Calibri ArialMT Helvetica Blank Presentation CSC PPoint Template 3D](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062907/5aa9227f7f8b9a77188c6dec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This is not a ‘work ofartistic craftsmanship’
Lucasfilm v Ainsworth[2009] F.S.R. 2, as confirmed by Court of Appeal and Supreme Court
Per Mann J, a WAC needs a level of artistic rather than utilitarian purpose.
![Page 23: PowerPoint · PPT file · Web view · 2017-04-113D Printing and Intellectual ... Arial MS Pゴシック Times Calibri ArialMT Helvetica Blank Presentation CSC PPoint Template 3D](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062907/5aa9227f7f8b9a77188c6dec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Does not infringe design right (‘must fit’ exemption).
Private replication does not in any case infringe design right.
Utiltitarian design, so not a WAC and no copyright in shape.
Surface Artwork may be a more complex issue, however.
![Page 24: PowerPoint · PPT file · Web view · 2017-04-113D Printing and Intellectual ... Arial MS Pゴシック Times Calibri ArialMT Helvetica Blank Presentation CSC PPoint Template 3D](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062907/5aa9227f7f8b9a77188c6dec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Not relevant whether artwork is embedded in design or is on surface only (Lambretta).
Section 52 CDPA may limit term of copyright in mass-produced artwork to 25 years.
Beware 3D infringement of 2D original designs (‘Popeye’)
BUT - Section 51 CDPA may apply (‘Teletubbies’)

Design files are protected by copyright (Autospin v Beehive).
It is not an infringement of such a copyright to make the item in question (Leyland).
Design files are also ‘design documents’ within Section 51 CDPA 1988.
It is not an infringement of a design document to make the item in question from it (Mackie v Behringer).

60(5) An act which, apart from this subsection, would constitute an infringement of a patent for an invention shall not do so if -
(a) it is done privately and for purposes which are not commercial;
BUT - Section 60(2) prohibits supplying the ‘means’ to allow a patent to be put into effect by a non-licensee. Unclear if this applies to disseminating design files.

Design Right Not infringed by personal use‘Must fit / Must Match’ exemptionsDoes not include surface designDesign right in design files not infringed by use
Copyright Does not apply to utilitarian 3D objectsSurface artwork covered (but reduced term if mass reproduction)Copyright in design files not infringed by use
Patent Not infringed by personal useNot many patents likely to be infringed by 3D printersIssues from dissemination of design files?
Trade Mark Not infringed by personal useNot infringed by use that is ‘not in trade mark sense’

The outlook for IP in Objects
• 3D printing is moving from an industrial to a hobbyist / consumer technology.
• If the evolution of computer technology is a guide, performance may develop rapidly.
• Private, personal use of 3D printers will not, under UK law, infringe design rights, patents or trade marks.
• UK copyright protection will not apply to most 3D object such a printer could reproduce.
• Open source 3D printer designs and data formats, plus 3D printers that can copy themselves, may result in IP control of 3D objects becoming as problematic as IP control of music.
