| dc.description.abstract | Intellectual property policy and surface design have been closely linked since the beginning of mass manufacturing and the commercialization of the earliest protectable applied art – printed textiles. This paper humbly attempts to explore the history of both and the undeniable impact on the current state of copyright law that it has had. Furthermore, the author suggests how the individual creator or organization can strategically protect itself within the framework of existing policy, as well as the importance of increasing ones own education on the subject of maintaining and exploiting ones own intellectual property. Here it is theorized, that much of the cause of both infringement and missed opportunities for fear of infringement, has to do with a general misunderstanding of intellectual property law within the creative professional community. It is felt that by advancing education of the topic specific to its industry needs, those who are designing or creating said products would be more proactive in prevention. | pt_PT |
