Protecting your IP as a fashion designer

A really good site that outlines the basics in intellectual property protection for fashion designers is www.ipfashionrules.gov.au The site explains what types of IP protection are available in Australia, and helps you work out which is best for your label.

It’s important to remember that with fashion, quite often its not the actual clothes you are designing that need protection – its your label. A trademark is very important to ensure no one else can use your label and pass your hard work off as their own.

While the site I mentioned is a great place to start, you may also want to speak to an IP attorney. I know one I am happy to recommend, so if you want contact details just shoot me an email and let me know. (info@veux.com.au)
