Dr. Dinusha Mendis, Associate Professor in Law and Co-Director of the Centre for Intellectual Property Policy and Management (CIPPM)<\/a> in the Faculty of Media and Communications was awarded a period of research leave funded by the Fusion Investment Fund which commenced on 1 January 2015.<\/p>\n

The research leave was\u00a0granted for Dr. Mendis to further her research into the digital aspects of Copyright Law<\/a> and the Intellectual Property (IP) Implications of 3D Printing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During January-February 2015, Dr. Mendis spent time at the\u00a0University of Bocconi,<\/a>\u00a0Milan in the capacity of a Visiting Fellow. During this time she collaborated with researchers at the\u00a0Art, Science and Knowledge (ASK) Centre<\/a>\u00a0at Bocconi University, in particular with Professor Maria Lilla Montagni (currently Research Fellow at the Harvard Law School).<\/p>\n

In February, Dr. Mendis travelled to the University of Tasmania (UTAS), Australia\u00a0and is currently\u00a0based there\u00a0as\u00a0Lord Provost Fellow involved in collaboration work with Professor Dianne Nicol<\/a> and Dr. Jane Nielsen<\/a> of the Faculty of Law, UTAS. The collaboration work involves considering the IP implications of 3D Printing.<\/p>\n

The time has also been utilised to collaborate with colleagues at Melbourne University, Monash University and Swinburne University of Technology where Dr. Mendis was invited to present her recent research<\/a>, which she carried out for the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO)<\/a>. The presentation formed part of the \u2018Innovation Seminar Series\u2019, organised by the Centre for Transformative Innovation<\/a> at Swinburne University of Technology.<\/p>\n

Dr. Mendis was also invited to present her research at a Staff Seminar at UTAS<\/a>, in her capacity as Visiting Fellow. \u00a0The presentation which showcased\u00a0the findings, conclusions and recommendation of the UKIPO Commissioned Project on the IP Implications of 3D Printing, also provided an overview of Copyrightuser.org<\/a> – a project which Dinusha has been involved in since 2012 and carried out in collaboration with CREATe<\/a>, University of Glasgow and CEMP<\/a>, Bournemouth University.<\/p>\n

The Fellowship at UTAS, which began in February will be completed at the end of March 2015 and will further include collaboration meetings with Associate Professor Matthew Rimmer<\/a> of the College of Law, Australian National University, Canberra.<\/a><\/p>\n

The collaboration work which is currently being carried out as part of the Research Leave will culminate in a number of outputs, specifically peer-reviewed journal articles and an edited book.<\/p>\n

In January 2015, Dr. Mendis’s Commissioned article, titled ‘Clone Wars Episode II – The Next Generation: The Copyright Implications of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Files was published in a peer-reviewed academic journal Law, Innovation and Technology<\/em><\/a> (Hart Publishing) (pp. 265-281).<\/p>\n\"bocconi\"<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
