Whither Industrial Design, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Amy Muhlstein

Margaret Ann Wilkinson

The scope of the Industrial Design Act in Canada is much narrower than the concept of industrial designs, as original and unique manufactured objects, in industry. Indeed, the Industrial Design Act applies only to the aspects of industrial designs which we have described as the design aspects.

Although some of the aspects of industrial designs other than the design aspects receive no intellectual property protection in any of the three jurisdictions, others are …

The analysis demonstrated that there is no such construct. The paper also reviews the findings …

A historical and theoretical analysis of the copyright environment demonstrates that both the economic rights associated with copyright and the moral rights often associated with copyright perform social functions. The latter have not been as universally embraced or adopted as the former. The lack of enthusiasm for moral rights is argued to be because the social utility of this aspect of the copyright regime has gone largely unrecognised. In fact, moral rights ensure that the information needs of the public are being met because they enhance the ability to assess the authority and reliability of information. While historically this has …
