SUPREME COURT OF APPEAL GIVES SOME CLARITY TO THE DESIGNS ACT
Thursday, June 07, 2007
A recent as yet unreported judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal (Clipsal Australia (Pty) Limited v Trust Electrical Wholesalers [2007] SCA 24 (RSA)) has established important principles relating to the interpretation of the Designs Act 195 of 1993. This is the first judgement of the appeal court dealing with registered designs under the present act. These issues are discussed hereunder.
PROTECTING YOUR DESIGNS
Monday, April 30, 2007
Necessity may well be the mother of all inventions, but sometimes the temptation to copy another person’s design can be dangerously overwhelming. It is therefore important for businesses to know the parameters of registered design protection, both for designers wishing to protect your work as well as for businesses possibly considering utilising another person’s design.
