The Dual Shield: Navigating the overlap of copyright and design law and maximising protection at the intersection of IP Rights 

Is your client’s product a piece of art, or just a, well... product?

In the modern marketplace, the line between artistic expression and industrial design is increasingly blurred. 

When a single creative work qualifies for both copyright and design registration, the strategic advantages are immense—but so are the risks. 

Join us for a deep dive into the complex world of overlapping IP, where we explore how to leverage both copyright and design rights for maximum protection. 

This session provides a practical roadmap for managing the "juxtaposition" of these rights and learning how to strengthen your client’s portfolio. 

We will examine legal frameworks in different jurisdictions, deconstruct recent case law, and provide a roadmap for securing a seamless and multi-layered IP strategy for your client’s most valuable assets.
