law and design - do you use protection?

How easy is it for a copycat to rip off your design? When is copying legal? Who are the biggest copycats? A hint: it’s not Chinese manufacturers.

This seminar will explain why it is so easy to copy most Australian products.

Find out how to protect your ideas and hear about what happens when a business defends them in court when you join Intellectual Property Lawyer Trevor Choy and the owner of Melbourne manufacturer LED Technologies, Tony Ottobre at this seminar.

Trevor Choy is a Lawyer who speaks in plain English and has distilled the complexities of copyright law down to 10 basic concepts.

Tony Ottobre successfully defended his intellectual property in a two year landmark court case that bans the sale of imported copies of his products.
