Digital swadeshi and 3D printing intellectual property in India: The multi-level perspective, causal layered analysis and backcasting

The chapter considers the challenges faced by intellectual property (IP) laws, in particular copyright and patent laws, in responding to emerging technologies and innovation like 3D printing and scanning. It provides a brief introduction to 3D printing before moving to detailed analysis of relevant UK and Australian jurisprudence. Through this comparative analysis, the chapter explores whether copyright and patent laws can effectively protect innovation in this emerging technology, including consideration of both subsistence and infringement. The chapter suggests that 3D printing, like most other technologies, has a universal reach, yet subtle differences in the wording and interpretation of IP legislation between jurisdictions could lead to anomalies in levels of protection. It explores the possibility of a sui generis regime of IP protection for 3D printing, but submits that a nuanced reworking of existing regimes is, in the vast majority of circumstances, likely to be a sufficient response.

Dynamic Trajectory

On October 21, 2020, the invention “A multi-level and multi-dimensional dynamic system motion model construction and simulation method” was accepted by the State Intellectual Property Office of China. Through the construction and simulation of the motion model of a multi-level and multi-dimensional dynamic system, the motion trajectory of the motion factors in each dynamic system is nested and substituted into the next dynamic subsystem to establish the motion trajectory of the motion factors in its dynamic subsystem. Until the dynamic trajectory model of the motion factors in the minimum dynamic subsystem is obtained, the motion model of a multi-level and multi-dimensional dynamic system is constructed, which reveals the motion law that can unify the microscopic particles and all the motion factors in the macroscopic universe.

In order to promote the further deepening of relations, this chapter provides a critical examination of four major issue areas: the nature of strategic partnerships, the particularity of Europe as an international actor, the resolution of the arms embargo issue, and the granting of China's market economy status. Nevertheless, China as a sovereign and unitary actor will still find itself having to negotiate the complexities of the multi-level, multi-mode European relationship, a factor rendered all the more difficult by the enlargement process. The discussion identifies two further obstacles to deepening: the role of the USA in influencing the position of European member states towards the arms embargo; and the question of China's poor governance record on intellectual property rights, which may be the most significant barrier to market economy status.
