3D Printing has emerged as one of the most disruptive technologies and its impact on our commercial and personal lives has yet to be measured.

On the one hand, personalization will improve technology across industries, from automotive to medical to recreational. On the other hand, moving mass produced products under personal control will greatly challenge what properties businesses and innovators will be able to develop and control.

  • Can protecting IP rights be balanced with the ability to innovate?
  • Will IP still act as an incentive to innovate in the 3D Printing space?
  • Will our laws rise to the challenge or do we need to redefine our rights -- will open technology concepts further expand?
  • How do we counsel clients who want to protect their rights and clients who want to innovate?

The panel included two experts in this cutting edge field: Morrison Foerster IP Attorney and Partner, Rudy Y. Kim and John Suh, Executive Director and Head of Office of Hyundai Ventures.
