Protecting designs is crucial given the UK’s robust intellectual property framework and the significant volume of imported fashion goods. The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) reported a rise in design applications in recent years, reflecting growing awareness of their importance. While precise figures on import-related patent applications aren't publicly disaggregated, the overall growth indicates a heightened focus on protecting design rights within the import sector.
