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.

MY MARRIAGE WORKED AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF DR ISIKOLO WHO IS THE MOST HONEST SPELL CASTER YOU CAN FIND
I am Helen Thompson from Georgia. My home has been filled with endless problems and misery which led to the divorce I never wanted with my husband. Everything crashed and we went our separate ways. I tried to move on but it was so difficult for me because I still loved my husband and my daughter has always cried wanting her father back. I had no choice rather than to seek help which led me to contacting DR ISIKOLO after seeing so many good remarks about his work. He assured me of reconciling me and my husband with his reconciliation spell which he did. I am glad to tell you all that the love and happiness has been reinstated and we got back together and I believe it’s forever for us and all thanks to DR ISIKOLO for doing so much to save my family. He is never too busy to help anyone. So contact him now if you need help as well. email him now via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or text him via WhatsApp/Telegram +2348133261196
Since my husband has been playing me for a fool, I made the decision to handle things on my own this time. With the aid of Wizard James Recovery Service, I was able to catch my husband texting all his girlfriends in secret using his Text Now account. I also had access to his cell phones and went through each one in turn. I’m really appreciative to Wizard James for their helpful hacking service. His personal email: wizardjamesrecovery@usa.com
