Expert Solution

With the advent of 3d technology an its allied technology, the number of patents to be filed will see a surge because of rapid prototyping the product finalisation and its completion will take lesser time than earlier time. Moreover, intellectual property regime will also face certain threats and its violation because by this technique the production of product by theft of design, and its plan will be quite easier. So , 3d poses challenge to protection of IP regime and chances of digital infringment will also witness a spike. With CAD file being digital in nature, and if its available to any individual having 3D printer, he can immediately manufacture that product. Moreover, cad file can also be designed or scanned for an object and an individual can produce that object undermining the patent law and bypassing those laws.
