Why Choose This Course
Fashion Design Patents are increasingly significant for UK fashion retail. Securing these patents protects original designs, a crucial aspect given the rapid pace of the industry. The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) reports a steady increase in design patent applications, reflecting the growing awareness of their importance. Protecting intellectual property is vital for maintaining a competitive edge and preventing costly counterfeiting. While precise figures on fashion-specific patent litigation are less readily available, a recent UKIPO survey indicated a correlation between design patent registration and increased business revenue for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
