SPECIFICS OF RESEARCH OF INTERIOR DESIGN OBJECTS CREATED USING 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

The present article is an attempt to evaluate and critically analyze, on the base of the materials of foreign experts, some possible analytical strategies and scientific and methodological tools that can be implemented by Ukrainian forensic experts in the process of researching of the facts of use and reproduction of works of interior design, as well as their elements that can be used independently, as objects of copyright. The rapid spread of 3D printing technologies in modern globalized world, as well as the lack of proper legal attention to the problem of unauthorized use of interior design objects used as reproductions of three-dimensional printing (using existing drawings, or by scanning the surface of the work for its further reproduction), can significantly complicate the process of research of case materials concerning such violations in the professional practice of forensic experts. Professionals of forensic science undoubtedly play a leading role in the process of evaluation of the facts of copyright infringement of such objects. In this context, reproduction and / or reworking of individual elements of interior design is probably the most common form of copyright infringement. The presented material provides an overview of some of the key principles of analysis of works of interior design as objects of copyright in the expert practice of foreign forensic experts. In the process of review research and critical evaluation of methodological materials of foreign forensic experts, it is possible to identify and adapt several time-tested and productive analytical practices. At the same time, their effective application by domestic professionals of forensic examination requires an objective critical attitude, appropriate practical testing and application of a wider range of research and methodological approaches. Further research in this direction should be conducted at the levels of study and systematization of scientific and methodological tools for comparing works of interior design as objects of copyright in cases of violations that occurred as a result of unauthorized reproduction and reproduction by processing.
