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.

I’m truly grateful to Cyber Asset Recovery for helping me recover my cryptocurrency funds from my locked account. It’s truly amazing how quickly I was able to get back my funds Immediately I contacted Cyber Asset Recovery support team. I had lost all my retirement savings to a cryptocurrency investment scam, hoping I will get double what I invested into it. I was contacted to pay more and more money which was absurd considering that I’d put $309,000 into this platform, luckily for me, I found out this was a scam and contacted the authorities. Although the authorities were not able to recover my funds, I was referred to Cyber Asset Recovery by my old friend who has benefited from their services in the past. I’m just really happy that Cyber Asset Recovery was able to recover my funds, I was beyond amazed at their hacking strategies and the promptness of their service delivery. I am writing today to recommend Cyber Asset Recovery to anyone who may have experienced similar circumstances. Their service is top-notch. You can contact them via email or telegram:
