Professor Margaret Petty, head of the School of Design at QUT's Creative Industries Faculty will discuss how allied design disciplines need to consider what design means in the 4th industrial revolution, where it adds value, and how can it adapt to radically different forms of manufacture, supply chains, IP protections and customer demands for greater levels of customization.
Daniel Flood, Creative Managaer at The Edge, State Library Queensland will explore the understanding and misconceptions in the community around IP and 3D printing, and the role spaces such as libraries, public makerspaces (etc) can and do play in informing this conversation in community.
Dr Brett Dale, CEO of the Motor Traders Association of Queensland believes collaboration with stakeholders and regulators about emerging technologies to ensure that associated regulations are responsive, flexible and support business prosperity and consumer expectations will be essential as the automotive value chain will be transformed by emerging technologies within the next 2-5 years.
Dr Angela Daly, Vice Chancellor’s Research Fellow in QUT’s Faculty of Law will examine how a different linguistic, political and cultural context in China has given rise to a different 3DP ecosystem to the Western world. Even so, similar concerns are arising as regards the relationship between 3D printing, design files and IP.
Professor Matthew Rimmer, leader of the IP and Innovation Law Research Program at QUT's Faculty of Law will analyse a recent decision by the US Supreme Court in the potential ramifications of the ruling for copyright law, designs, fashion and 3D printing.
