The United States Needs A New sui generis Design Protection Law
The
Design Registration League is a coalition of design-conscious
companies, associations and individual designers whose singular goal is
to get the U.S. Congress to introduce and pass long overdue sui generis industrial design legislation.Such
a law would not only strengthen our national economy, but also
harmonize our laws with international design protection systems such as
found, for example, in the model enacted by the European Union.In
addition, by recognizing the creativity of industrial designers, it
would treat them as a national resource, as do other nations.
