Biographical note
James Griffin, Associate Professor, School of Law, University of Exeter, UK<i>'This book discusses how emerging technologies link to innovation and creativity that can bring immense benefits to society, and stresses how legal systems (e.g., copyright) can help motivate and protect such development. I recommend the book to all technology enthusiasts who are keen on applying cutting-edge technology and knowledge.'</i><br /> --Hing Kai Chan, University of Nottingham Ningbo China<p><i>'This book is a very original account of the importance of creativity within society. James Griffin has incorporated a wide range of materials and subjects to develop and establish his core argument that creativity is critical to the future of humanity. The book should be a primary reference for regulators, policymakers and researchers considering legal reforms, especially for 3D printing.'</i><br /> --Onyeka Osuji, University of Essex, UK</p>
The State of Creativity examines how the State has become distanced from individual processes of creativity. This book investigates how the failure to incorporate creativity into administrative regulation is, in fact, adversely impacting the regulation of new technologies such as 3D and 4D printing and augmented reality, by focusing on issues concerning copyright and patents.
This is an important read for intellectual property law scholars, as well as those studying computer science who wish to gain a more in-depth understanding of the current laws surrounding digital technologies such as 3D printing in our modern world. Legal practitioners wanting to remain abreast of developments surrounding 3D printing will also benefit from this book.
