Design Rights?
Interesting outcome from the Supreme Court yesterday which decided that the design of the Kiddee Case (on the left) did not infinge the registered design rights of the Trunki design on the right. Currently much debate on the impact of this on designers . . . .http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-35762610

The University of Brighton is hosting a TEDx event this Saturday 12th at the Sallis Benney theatre.
