"The US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has affirmed (PDF) a ruling that a plain, unadorned wireframe model of a Toyota vehicle is not a creative expression protected under copyright law. [...] companies that produce goods may not be able to stop modelers from imaging those products, but modelers may not be able to prevent others from copying their work."
