  1. Under US copyright law, who owns the copyright of a 3D model created by an employee during normal working hours?

    Answer: The employer under work-for-hire doctrine

    Work created by an employee within the scope of employment is a 'work made for hire,' so the employer holds the copyright.

  2. Which US agency regulates the export of 3D CAD files containing dual-use technology that could have military applications?

    Answer: Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)

    The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) governing dual-use items including technical data.

  3. A freelance 3D modeler uses open-source assets licensed under GPL in a commercial product. What is the primary compliance concern?

    Answer: The final product may need to be released under GPL as well

    GPL is a copyleft license requiring that derivative works also be distributed under GPL, which can force commercial products to disclose source.

  4. Which standard governs the file format compliance requirements for exchanging 3D models in the aerospace industry?

    Answer: STEP (ISO 10303)

    ISO 10303 (STEP) is the international standard for product data exchange widely mandated in aerospace for interoperability.

  5. A 3D model of a medical device must comply with which FDA pathway before clinical use?

    Answer: 510(k) clearance or PMA approval

    Medical devices must obtain FDA 510(k) clearance or Premarket Approval (PMA) depending on device class before being marketed or used clinically.

  6. When a US defense contractor shares 3D model files containing technical data with a foreign national employee in the US, this may constitute:

    Answer: A deemed export requiring an export license under EAR/ITAR

    Sharing controlled technical data with a foreign national inside the US is treated as a 'deemed export' and may require a license under EAR or ITAR.

  7. Under Creative Commons CC BY-NC licenses, a 3D modeler may:

    Answer: Use others' models for non-commercial projects with attribution

    CC BY-NC allows use with attribution (BY) but prohibits commercial use (NC), so non-commercial projects with proper credit are permitted.
