Download or read book Shared Design written by Michael T. Callahan and published by Aspen Publishers. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As construction projects become more complex and with the use of computers in design, shared design has become much more frequent. As a result, it's more difficult than ever to assess responsibility for design defects.Attorneys representing architects, contractors, or subcontractors need to know how to draft construction contracts so that their clients are protected in case a shared design results in a design defect. Shared Design, the latest addition to Aspen Publishers' Construction Series, provides a thorough discussion of the expanded use of delegated and shared design in construction projects resulting from new technologies and explores the multi-party relationships that characterize delegated and shared design. It also discusses the risks of unintended transfers of liability among the parties involved and provides suggestions how to allocate design liability effectively. Shared Design also: provides sample clauses that can be used in construction contracts to structure shared and delegated design and to allocate the risks of liability. consolidates information about shared and delegated design that might be covered only superficially in other titles. includes suggested contract clauses that can be incorporated into construction contracts to address liability issues associated with shared and delegated design. addresses liability issues when there are multiple parties involved in the design of a project. The only book on the market exclusively dedicated to shared design , this powerful resource gives you what you need to: Prevent conflicts and rapidly resolve issues after they arise Take into account all relevant provisions of current AIA Documents and ConsensusDOCS Account for the confusion that can arise from multi-party involvement, especially in connection with computerized design Access all relevant case law--from a single resource Additionally, sample contract language, together with any deleted and revised language for standard form contracts, are provided in individual chapters for contracts entered into by architects, owners, general constructors, specialty trade subcontracts, specialty design sub-consultants, and design-build entities.

Download or read book Gauging the Influence of America s Legal Decisions Regarding Intellectual Property on the World Wide Web written by Brady Teufel and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When tracing the history of intellectual property legislation in the United States, one notices a significant surge of legal action following the advent of the Internet. The popularity of this worldwide communications network has prompted the American government, and indeed governing bodies the world, over to pass and revise new and current legislation in attempts to define parameters for its use. After analyzing recent and/or proposed copyright legislation in Canada, Great Britain, Australia and the United States, an interplay surfaces that hints at significant US influence in this realm. This interplay begs for an assessment of this influence: to what extent have America's legal decisions regarding intellectual property on the World Wide Web impacted the formation of recent copyright legislation in the aforementioned countries? When comparing and contrasting changes to copyright legislation among the specified countries, special attention will paid to each nation's respective approach to common areas of contention surrounding the Internet in an effort to identify specific causal relationships. In this research, the liability of Internet Service Providers and the use of devices or programs designed to electronically prevent infringement represent two of the most controversial facets of the World Wide Web. After analyzing these two areas of contention within the context of each nation's laws, the influence of US legislation, specifically, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, becomes obvious in some areas and incidental in others. Although the specific influence that this body of legislation has had on the treatment of intellectual property issues in these nations is not easily quantifiable within the context of this research, the fact that the United States invests so much in policing copyright infringement cases worldwide hints at an influence that is more than arbitrary and perhaps indicative of a larger phenomenon similar in character to Schiller's cultural imperialism thesis.

Download or read book Legal Aspects of the Design Build Method of Construction Delivery written by Mark Terrill and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though many of the legal issues that may be encountered using the design-build method of project delivery are the same or similar to legal issues encountered using other methods of project delivery, there are several issues unique to design-build which can significantly affect the success of the project and the parties involved in the design-build project. Differences in issues such as liability, insurance coverage, bonding, public procurement requirements and statutes, licensing, and changes in responsibilities and expectations of the contracting parties can lead to unexpected problems, conflict, and litigation. An owner or design-build entity that is not aware of or ignores these potential issues may encounter unanticipated problems. This report summarizes many of the key legal aspects unique to construction using the design-build method of project delivery. After explaining each of the potential issues, case law and rulings regarding these issues are cited, and suggestions for managing the issues (i.e., prevention or mitigation of problems) are offered. The report is directed to a general audience (i.e., owners, contractors and designers) and is not specific to any one of the typical parties involved in design-build.

Download or read book 3D Printing Intellectual Property and Innovation written by Rosa Maria Ballardini and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3D printing (or, more correctly, additive manufacturing) is the general term for those software-driven technologies that create physical objects by successive layering of materials. Due to recent advances in the quality of objects produced and to lower processing costs, the increasing dispersion and availability of these technologies have major implications not only for manufacturers and distributors but also for users and consumers, raising unprecedented challenges for intellectual property protection and enforcement. This is the first and only book to discuss 3D printing technology from a multidisciplinary perspective that encompasses law, economics, engineering, technology, and policy. Originating in a collaborative study spearheaded by the Hanken School of Economics, the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki in Finland and engaging an international consortium of legal, design and production engineering experts, with substantial contributions from industrial partners, the book fully exposes and examines the fundamental questions related to the nexus of intellectual property law, emerging technologies, 3D printing, business innovation, and policy issues. Twenty-five legal, technical, and business experts contribute sixteen peer-reviewed chapters, each focusing on a specific area, that collectively evaluate the tensions created by 3D printing technology in the context of the global economy. The topics covered include: • current and future business models for 3D printing applications; • intellectual property rights in 3D printing; • essential patents and technical standards in additive manufacturing; • patent and bioprinting; • private use and 3D printing; • copyright licences on the user-generated content (UGC) in 3D printing; • copyright implications of 3D scanning; and • non-traditional trademark infringement in the 3D printing context. Specific industrial applications – including aeronautics, automotive industries, construction equipment, toy and jewellery making, medical devices, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine – are all touched upon in the course of analyses. In a legal context, the central focus is on the technology’s implications for US and European intellectual property law, anchored in a comparison of relevant laws and cases in several legal systems. This work is a matchless resource for patent, copyright, and trademark attorneys and other corporate counsel, innovation economists, industrial designers and engineers, and academics and policymakers concerned with this complex topic.

Download or read book Construction Digitalisation written by Douglas Aghimien and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores construction digitalisation, particularly in developing countries. The book conceptualises a digitalisation capability maturity model that will enable construction organisations to self-assess and benchmark their digital capabilities in their quest for digital transformation. Digitalisation offers a significant solution to the age-long problems of the construction industry. Research shows that when construction organisations transform from a traditional service delivery approach to a more digitalised approach, significant improvement in project delivery and better competitive advantage for these organisations will be attained. The attainment of these benefits is evident in developed countries where the digitalisation of construction activities continues apace. Unfortunately, the story is not the same for construction organisations in developing economies. While some organisations might be willing to be digitally transformed, most have no clue how to go about it. To this end, this book provides guidelines for construction organisations seeking to transform their entities digitally. Its content is a valuable read for construction company owners as it provides a model which they can use in the digitalisation of their activities. Also, regulatory bodies in the construction industry can adopt the capabilities identified in the book as essential prerequisites for their members. Furthermore, the book serves as excellent theoretical background reading for management researchers seeking to expand their knowledge on the digitalisation of the construction industry and other associated industries.
