👗 The Fashion Designer's Nightmare

🌟 Imagine this: A brilliant fashion designer creates a stunning, completely unique collection and showcases it at a major fashion show. Later, they think, "Let me register this for legal protection." But what if a competitor claims, "Hey, since you showed this at that fashion show before registration, it's technically not new anymore!" This scenario reveals a crucial aspect of intellectual property law.

💡 What You'll Discover:

• 🔍 Why the Design Act 2000 demands "absolute novelty" - and what that really means
• ⚖️ How showing your own creation publicly can make it legally "not new" anymore
• 🎯 The difference between confidential sharing and public disclosure
• 📱 Why Instagram stories and social media posts can destroy your registration chances

🚀 Real Cases Discussed:

🔥 The Shocking Truth:

Even if the design is 100% your original creation, showing it publicly before registration can make it legally invalid for protection. This creates a catch-22 situation for designers in our digital age where sharing is instant and everywhere!

🎙️ This episode will change how you think about protecting your creative work - whether you're a designer, artist, or entrepreneur. Don't let your own success destroy your legal rights!
