Exploration and Research on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in Chinas Fashion Design

Abstract

In todays society, which has continued to develop for decades after the reform and opening up, peoples material living conditions
have been greatly satisfied, and they have gradually changed from lack of food and clothing to food and clothing. China is the most populous developing country in the world and has great potential for development in the garment industry. However, due to the lack of intellectual
property rights in the protection of clothing design in China, plagiarism and counterfeiting in this field have emerged in an endless stream, and
they have been repeatedly prohibited. In view of this situation, this paper suggests that China can issue special regulations to classify clothing
as a separate type of object and be protected by copyright together with other objects, and then creatively combine copyright protection with
design patent protection. In addition, the law can recognize the use of any means of reproduction, and at the same time set up a simple and fast
patent examination path, in the hope that the wind of borrowing in the market can be calmed down, so that those miserable clothing companies and designers can feel at ease, and Chinas clothing industry can flourish healthily.
