Reasoning Of The Law

Christopher Hall

Class BUS250H Contracts, Negotiations and copyrights

Lawyer: Donald L Prunty

Understanding these simple answers to the questions above will save myself or the company millions of dollars in law suits. The majority of the issues stem from copyright laws because it is more complex when it comes to creating something in fashion that has not been done before is close to almost impossible. For an example Dresses have been created for centuries so you cant patient the dress because it an obvious item that has been around, now you may be able to patient the fabric used to create this specific style or styles of dresses. But again it cant be cotton or rayon or a mixture of any fabrics that has been previously made unless you put them in a way that changes the chemistry and adds some property that has not been utilized by the fabric prior. I know sounds complex I know its even more complex in trying to do it. But this was also helpful because you can use the past fashion trends and designs for inspiration into the future. The lawyer I gathered the information made several valid points when it came to paten law and copyright law. Knowing how to protect your ideas, investments & dreams while not being on a front page some were being sewed is a key to success. Being aware of what is protected and what is not will take me a further distance in my career.
