Instagram post 2225332587534295513_3247486715 READ // You know Australia’s inadequate IP protection for the furnishing sector is a global problem when one of the world’s leading design publications @framemagazine runs with this as a lead story in the first issue of the year! + + “Stephen Todd is concerned that Australia needs to strengthen its IP laws or risk losing another generation of young designers.” + 🙏 Many thanks to @toddstervision for his ongoing support and to FRAME founder and editor-in-chief @robertthiemann + + IP is a tricky subject for creatives to wrap their head around, a subject that too oft falls in the ’too hard basket’ for the many mainstream interiors publications - the same ones who feature ads from replica furniture dealers - or worse - feature ‘get the look’ by offering readers links to where they can source knockoffs of original design 🙈 + Australia has long been considered ’The Wild West of Fake Designer Furniture’ as explained by @davidtrubridge in an ABC RADIO National interview - echoing the views of the global design community who fail to understand why our furnishing sector continues to be savaged by counterfeit design, or why replica retailers can legally use designer’s names to flog cheap copies of their original designs! + 🔗LINK in Bio to the full story + #replicaisfake #stopdesigntheft #getrealbuyrealsupplyreal #supportoriginaldesign #authenticdesign #furniture #furnituredesign #lighting #lightingdesign #industrialdesign #architecture #interiordesign #interiordecoration #intellectualproperty #authenticdesignalliance #thedesigndirectory #framemagazine
Instagram post 2206397690182814942_3247486715 After a massive year that rounded out with our 4000word ACIP submission to IP Australia on Friday - we thank everyone who supported us this year & are excited to announce our expansion plans for 2020 🙌✔️ + Meanwhile - we hope anyone affected by or fighting #australianbushfires are having some respite with a break in the weather + And no surprise #ScoMo #scomod are both now verbs according to @urbandictionary 👈swipe for definition 🤝- so @scottmorrisonmp we join the nation in hoping you had a fabulous Island holiday - wonderful to see true colours shining #thoughtsandprayers 🏝 + #authenticdesignalliance #climatechange #climateemergency #auspol + Artwork // @scottie.marsh
Instagram post 2197741448400950564_3247486715 Sorry not sorry for the bluntness - but what a crap way to end the year with yet another Australian business ripping off a local independent brand!!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬 + This problem is endemic - where are the laws to protect original products? Where’s the incentive for distributors to invest in authentic products? How are consumers to know what’s real & what’s fake? + Again & again both imports & locally created collections are simply stolen by resellers of cheap copies who claim the #knockoffs to be their own creations. Enough!! This has to stop!! 🤚 + 11 years ago Sarah Gibson & Nick Karlovasitis after studying industrial design at UTS created @designbythem - a brand that not only produced their own designs but also collaborates with other Australian designers to produce their work - product collections distributed nationally (residentially & commercially) that are also exported. All in all a major investment by the brand!! + CONFETTI by @gibsonkarlo harnesses repurposed plastics, addressing #sustainability #ethicaldesign #recyling #plasticpollution .... & incredibly well received by our industry!! + Yet @harrythehirer posted POPPY (👈SWIPE) a ‘new’ ‘original’ series ..... 🥴 + Swipe for description .... first image #designbythem - the balance not by DbT!! + #intellectualproperty theft in the design sector is out of control - consumers are misled to believe cheap versions of original Australian designs are the genuinely created by one of the many Australian brands who knockoff original products .... Australian #iplaw must stop this to nurture both local industry & import distributors + Enough!! #replicaisfake #stopdesigntheft #getrealbuyrealsupplyreal #ipaustralia #supportoriginaldesign #supportaustraliandesign #authenticdesign #authenticdesignalliance + Thoughts? Thoughts & shares? #enoughisenough 👊
Instagram post 2192581940611562355_3247486715 Department of Environment now bundled with Agriculture .... makes as little sense as Arts packaged with Roads, Infrastructure & Regional Development 😞😞😞 + Just when we feel imminent progress on the IP side - bamn - @scottmorrisonmp shrinks the public service without any consultation ..::: & with The Arts shelved in an unlikely management cluster - Australia preps to slip into a cultural wasteland ..... ppl must have their say on this!! + #replicaisfake #stopdesigntheft #getrealbuyrealsupplyreal #authenticdesignalliance
Instagram post 2192577790297453156_3247486715 This week’s day long think tank hosted by #IPAustralia threw some fairly radical concepts on the table for potential reform in the design sector - ranging tossing out the exisiting IP Australia system altogether & replacing it with a 2 tier system that relies on Patents & Copyright as protection against design theft ...... through to introducing a star system (similar to electrical goods) rating provenance, materials, end of life cycle, authenticity & carbon footprint for products - to enable consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions. + Other concepts included a ‘Crap Tax’ applicable to products not built to last or a landfill tax - and local content rebates to incentivise support for locally created products + Overwhelming support for extracting DESIGN from ART supported by a Minister for Design now seems out the window. Blue sky thinking of course.... but hey - if design is innovation surely that’s a YES to supporting / nurturing? + All in all some great ideas - then out of left field @scottmorrisonmp announces the Federal Arts Department is now scrapped - with Arts & Comms bundled with Regional Development, Roads & Infrastructure 🙈🙈🙈 So how far will progress extend without Federal support? + First we have economists making decisions about protecting design via their own metrics whilst the federal government continues to demonise funding and recognition for Australia’s $111Billion Arts Sector. + Why is it so hard ? Cultural heritage & creative futures must be protected at all costs! + #replicisfake #stopdesigntheft #getrealbuyrealsupplyreal #intellectualproperty #authenticdesignalliance
