(Geomagic: Morrisville, NC) -- Geomagic, the leading provider of 3-D software for creating and inspecting digital models of physical objects, has announced that Tom Kurke, COO, alongside Michael Weinberg, staff attorney for Public Knowledge, will be presenting at this year’s Faro 3D Documentation Conference, in Orlando, Florida, Feb. 21–22, 2012. Public Knowledge preserves the openness of the Internet and the public’s access to knowledge; promotes creativity through balanced copyright; and upholds and protects the rights of consumers to use innovative technology lawfully.

The session titled, “It Will Be Awesome If They Don’t Screw It Up: Bringing IP Issues in Digital Documentation into FOCUS,” will address questions about intellectual property rights and how they can affect the things that you capture, modify, and make in 3-D.

In this session, Kurke and Weinberg will walk the audience through a complex, confusing, and sometimes nonsensical legal landscape which intersects with object and scene-based 3-D capture workflows using specific illustrative examples.
