TO WHAT EXTENT IS COPYRIGHT AN ADEQUATE

TOOL TO PROTECT THE FASHION INDUSTRY?

, ABSTRACT


The rise of knockoffs in the fashion industry asks for copyright to be extended to fashion items.

The alternative methods of protection provided by intellectual property law do not protect

adequately the overall fashion item. Indeed, there is a widespread belief that copyright does

not protect fashion. Fashion items fall under the scope of copyright, as a type of ‘artistic work’

and can be covered by the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, under the category of

‘original work of artistic craftsmanship’. The ambiguity around the meanings of the two

elements makes it hard to predict what the courts will consider as ‘original works of artistic

craftsmanship’. Furthermore, the main limitations in protecting fashion items are the

functionality doctrine and the closed-list system of copyright.
