Why does Australia refuse to protect their designers?
Australia’s flawed intellectual property laws
So why does Australia provide Copyright laws and Intellectual property rights to artists and creative industries such as fine art, graphic design & photography yet leave product designers open to be copied?
Under the current IP laws unlike works referred to as fine art, design of objects and furniture is not entitled to copyright protection and are left vulnerable to copying. I have been one of many designers targeted by large companies ready to make money from unprotected designers here in Australia.
Australia’s retail landscape may play a major part in the decision to keep designers unprotected. Much of our retail in Australia is made up of replica’s. Stores like Kmart, Target, Freedom, Bunnings and Matt Blatt.
All these retailers hold an arsenal of replica rip-offs on their showroom floor so making it illegal will put these businesses in trouble. In fact, one of the biggest culprits is Westfarmers the conglomerate owning many of the offending companies employing 223,000 workers with a revenue of $68.44 Billion (2017) it’s no wonder the cries of the small Australian designers aren’t being heard. With figures like this creating change which will affect many of these company’s bottom dollar just adds to the friction in the uphill battle the Australia design industry faces.

The notification was a gut punch: my digital wallet, drained. 1.8 BTC and 12 ETH my life’s savings vanished into the blockchain’s immutable ledger. Immutable. The word haunted me. The police offered sympathy, not solutions. Desperate, I found Cyber Codex Revolution. Skeptical but out of options, I hired them. Their agent, a calm voice named Eli, explained their process wasn’t magic but “digital forensics meets algorithmic pursuit.” They deployed proprietary tracing software, mapping the thief’s path across the blockchain’s transparent labyrinth. Within 72 hours, they had a report: the funds were sitting in a seemingly anonymous exchange wallet. Cyber Codex leveraged their established relationships with global exchanges, presenting irrefutable proof of the theft. The freeze order was issued instantly. I watched, stunned, as my coins were returned to my secure, new wallet. The revolution wasn’t just in recovering the lost; it was in proving that even in the decentralized wild west, justice could be coded. Hire Cyber Codex. They are the guardians the digital age demands. Email: (Cybercodexrevolution@mail.com)
