At the Crossroads: Protecting Designs
In our world of ever-developing technology, it’s not only what a product does, but often how it looks that differentiates it in the marketplace. While traditional IP laws might align to protect a product’s innovations, protecting its design often presents challenges. Although design can define lifestyle, distinguishing the line between form and function is not always clear. This panel will focus on methods and strategies for protecting designs, and efforts to carve out an identity in a marketplace filled with competition.
