Copyright your fashion and textile model
The fashion world is highly competitive, and shortcuts are all too common. Because many designs share similar elements, it’s not unusual for someone to replicate a concept—sometimes even unintentionally. To safeguard your interests, you should leverage copyright laws. If you develop a design on Thursday and someone else comes up with a lookalike concept on Monday, being able to prove that you created your textile model first can be crucial.
Whatever you craft from the ground up should belong solely to you or your business. In the United Kingdom, any textile model that is sufficiently unique and original is entitled to copyright protection. However, if another party produces a similar model, you may need to verify that yours was created first—or defend against claims that you copied someone else. One effective strategy is to register and deposit your model through Copyright.uk.
How We Protect Your Textile Model?
By registering and making a copyright deposit for your textile model, you gain immediate and comprehensive copyright coverage. Once you complete the deposit, you have irrefutable proof of authorship whenever it’s needed. Since your textile model cannot be modified within our system, the record firmly establishes your exclusive rights. Even better, your copyright protection lasts for life. Once entrusted to Copyright.uk, the documentation of your model is maintained by legal officers who ensure its authenticity stands uncontested in any legal matter.
Your protection goes far beyond the UK. When you deposit your textile model with Copyright.uk, your copyright is automatically recognized in all 171 countries that are signatories to the Berne Convention. That means your design and associated content receive worldwide protection.
