Copyright Protection & Safeguards for Fashion Designers in India

A design which is the heart and soul of fashion takes significant time and money to be created but it is really easy to copy it and sell it to make illegal gains. This is the reason why it is of great importance to protect such designs under the ambit of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in order to prevent the person copying to free ride on the intellect of someone else and to encourage designers to invest further in new creations and art. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the fashion designers to protect their original artistic work under the ambit of Copyright Act, 1957.
