How the law should protect industrial design - the effort and investment that goes into the appearance of products as diverse as teddy bears and turbines, bracelets and bedpans, exhaust pipes and embroidered blouses - has worried generations of legislators and intellectual property lawyers, and the various solutions adopted have often confused and frustrated the designers and industrialists they were meant to help. "Industrial Design Law" provides a thorough commentary on the new provisions relating to designs in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, together with the continuing regime for registered designs. It examines how these are applied in practice, and discusses the proposed EU-wide changes under the 1993 draft Regulation and Harmonisation Directive.
