    Location
    Webinar
    Description

    Studio), hosted by intellectual property lawyer John Coldham (Gowling WLG), to discuss how designers can use IP to help the business side of design.

    “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness”. That was Oscar Wilde’s view, but for designers, being ripped off risks being very harmful indeed. Is being copied ever good news?
