A 3D model includes a scan of a famous sculpture still under copyright. Using it without a license most likely violates:
Answer: Copyright law protecting the underlying sculptural work
A 3D scan creates a derivative copy of the original sculptural work, so using it requires permission from the copyright holder.
Under Section 1201 of the DMCA, a 3D modeler who reverse-engineers a proprietary CAD format by bypassing its encryption may:
Answer: Face liability for circumventing technological protection measures
DMCA Section 1201 prohibits circumventing technological protection measures, with only narrow exemptions that may not cover casual reverse engineering.
A company patents a unique 3D-printable mechanical joint design. A competitor modeling a similar joint must avoid:
Answer: Making, using, or selling products that fall within the patent claims
Patent rights give the holder the exclusive right to make, use, sell, or import the patented invention; competitors must design around the claims.
Which product liability doctrine holds a 3D printing service liable even without proof of negligence if a printed part causes injury?
Answer: Strict products liability
Strict products liability holds manufacturers and sellers responsible for defective products that cause harm, regardless of the care taken during production.
A 3D modeler creates a realistic scan of a celebrity's face for a commercial game without consent. The most applicable legal claim is:
Answer: Right of publicity violation
The right of publicity protects individuals' rights to control commercial use of their name, likeness, or identity, including 3D replicas.
When a government agency issues a contract requiring 3D models delivered as Technical Data Packages, the controlling regulation is typically:
Answer: DFARS 252.227-7013 (rights in technical data)
DFARS 252.227-7013 governs the government's rights in technical data and computer software developed under defense contracts.
Which US consumer safety agency would investigate a 3D-printed consumer product that caused a home injury?
Answer: CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission)
The CPSC has jurisdiction over consumer product safety hazards and can mandate recalls of defective products, including those manufactured via 3D printing.
