I suppose it's one of those areas where surely there is a fantastic opportunity for someone like GW to get on board with 3-D printing rather than looking to suppress usage. It's interesting because the whole point of the models is that they

I think it would be useful to see the his models and relevant GW models side-by-side to assess whether any similarities are present. He has obviously had sight of GW models which would allow GW to argue a form of copying has taken place. Al

I believe in the same way as iTunes Match works, you would be legitimising your own creations to ensure that they were free from potential infringement actions.

The article suggests that it is preferable to have an action under patent infringement rather than under copyright infringement because patents expire. I think this is a gross over-simplification of the matter as if I were advising a manufa

Ah I see - thanks for the information. Nice looking site by the way.

Heh, nope, but it's an insubstantial part of the whole and thus wouldn't constitute infringement. Plus my pasting of a company's terms to ask whether the OP is in compliance is hardly likely to attract the ire of the company, whereas if I w

I have experience of acting for clients on both sides of passing off and copyright infringement claims. There was clearly no passing off here in the way you tend to frame a passing off action as per Warnink (in the UK at least). What misrep

In the UK at least (and I would imagine there are similar provisions under US laws), the directors have obligations not to act prejudicially against the interests of minority shareholders. Dilution being likely to be an example of such prej

Why do you say that? They were successful in the instant case and in my experience, passing off actions are far harder to prove than simple copyright infringement actions. There was no misrepresentation here designed to divert custom, just

Contractually there may be a duty to ensure your connection is not utilised to nefarious ends. This contractual duty would not of course extend to parties outside the contract (unless the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act is not exclu

Although it should be borne in mind that the reciprocal protection of copyright works conferred by the Berne Convention should still technically apply meaning that, to use your example, Amazon could still take action against infringement of

The case is quite unique in some ways because the alleged infringer disclosed that they had intentionally instructed a designer to design around the original. Copyright, at least in the UK, has for a long time granted protection for copies

I'm not fully conversant with international copyright treaties, but the Berne Convention to which both the US and various EU countries are signatories to, provides that a work that is protected by copyright in one signatory country will be

Do you have a source for that?

National governments in the EU have a duty to implement EU Directives. If a government implemented a law inconsistent with a directive, the EU would take enforcement action for failure to implement the directive properly.

I'd be interested to read the terms of the warranty. Transferability may have been limited to personal use rather than the bulk warranty claims undertaken by the OP. That's with my lawyer hat on at least. With non-lawyer hat on, nice work O
