Elias, emphasized the importance of protecting the creative minds that drive the fashion industry forward. “The fashion industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, but it is essential to protect the creative minds driving this innovation,” he stated. “The webinar organized by G. Elias will address the critical issues of intellectual property rights and provide practical solutions for safeguarding intellectual property.”
By fostering a strong legal framework, G. Elias aims to contribute to a more equitable and prosperous fashion ecosystem. The webinar will feature a distinguished panel of experts who will discuss the implications of design copying, the evolving legal framework, and strategies for designers and brands to protect their intellectual property.
