Fashion is a popular aesthetic expression at a particular time and place and in a specific context, especially in clothing, footwear, lifestyle, accessories, makeup, hairstyle, and body proportions. All aforementioned products are great candidates of a design patent or a utility patent. Whereas a trend often connotes a peculiar aesthetic expression and often lasting shorter than a season, fashion is a distinctive and industry-supported expression traditionally tied to the fashion season and collections. Even though they are often used together, the term fashion differs from clothes and costumes, where the first describes the material and technical garment, whereas the second has been relegated to special senses like fancy-dress or masquerade wear.
Like a lot of industries particularly those that are consumer focused, change happens fast and constantly. The industry and the consumer is constantly evolving. Fashion retailing is no longer just large fashion houses, fashion magazines, and retail stores/catalogs but evolved first with TV channels that sold many goods including fashion, and then with the Internet and online retailing.
We endeavor to protect our the brands and products, that our clients put all their efforts in developing and getting in the market. Being dynamic in nature, fashion industry is constantly changing with ever changing consumer preferences, technological advances and the play of globalization. In such a a competitive and dynamic environment of the constantly changing fashion industry, we understand that developing, protecting, and exploiting brands is becoming more and more challenging.
