New resources are now available to designers looking for information on copyright and intellectual property.
Graphic Designers & Copyright
From the Australian Copyright Council, Graphic Designers & Copyright deals with how copyright affects aspects of design practice such as legal protection for your designs, using other people’s work, dealing with clients and what happens if things go wrong. Referencing real-life cases, the book aims to answer common copyright questions such as ‘Can clients use designs they haven’t paid for?’, ‘Are clients entitled to original artwork and files?’ and ‘What if someone says I’ve copied their design?’

Make Your Mark and Protect Your Creative
Design Victoria has recently launched two guides to intellectual property for Australian graphic and industrial designers.
Make Your Mark – A Guide to Intellectual Property for Australia’s Industrial Designers is an essential reference guide that contains practical information and case studies to explain intellectual property protection and related issues. The guide aims to help industrial designers understand IP and use this knowledge to make informed IP business decisions.
A first for the graphic design industry, Protect Your Creative – A Guide to Intellectual Property for Australia’s Graphic Designers aims to equip graphic designers with the necessary information to protect and profit from their intellectual property.
These guides were developed in partnership with IP Australia, AGDA, DIA and IP specialist lawyers, and are available as free downloads from the Design Victoria website.
