Building Information Modelling: Ownership issues, contractual considerations, and litigation uses
Presented by the CBA Alberta Construction Law (North) & Technology & Intellectual Property (South) Section
Your clients–architects, engineers, and the construction industry–increasingly use Building Information Modelling (“BIM”) for projects. Learn from the experts at Smart & Biggar and Glaholt Bowles about intellectual property considerations with BIM, common contractual provisions regarding BIM access and ownership, and litigation uses for BIM. This presentation will be useful if you practice in Construction, Intellectual Property, Civil Litigation, or Business and will address the following:
- Who owns the BIM model?
- Who can assert rights to the BIM model?
- What rights do collaborators have to access and use the BIM model?
- How do you manage BIM model contributors and mitigate contractual risks?
- How can BIM models be used in disputes?
