Design Council reacts to proposed government measures to help designers protect their rights
The Design Council has spoken out in support of new changes announced by the government today (17 July) that will change the way that registered design rights operate in the UK.
Currently, when registering IP rights for a design, designers are required to mark the product with the word ‘registered’, along with the associated details, which can represent a significant cost to design businesses who must re-mark their products whenever the rights status changes.
The new proposals aim to allow designers to simply mark the product with a web address, which can more easily be updated.
