Why Choose This Course
Fashion Design Patents are crucial for safeguarding Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the competitive UK fashion market. Securing a patent protects original designs, offering exclusive rights to manufacture, use, and sell the patented creation for a specific period. This is increasingly vital as brands navigate the complexities of fast fashion and counterfeiting. The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) data reveals a significant rise in patent applications across various sectors, reflecting a growing awareness of IPR importance. This trend underscores the need for designers and businesses to understand the legal framework surrounding fashion design patents and their strategic application.
