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.

Hello is me Lydia,am so glad that my broken marriage has been restored. It’s been over 6 months now and things seem to be back to normal. He started to treat me better and it was a healing process for both of us. The nightmare that lasted almost 2 years before we broke up is finally over. Looks like we fell in love again! We’ve both put the past behind us and are trying to move forward – and for the first time in a long time, the future looks much brighter. I cannot express in words how much I feel now, It seems that we have finally discovered the things about each other that made us fall in love in the first place. All the anxiety and stress just disappeared. Thank you Hakeem for saving my broken marriage and bringing my husband back to me!
