CONGRESS NEEDS TO MAKE IT WORK: Vessel hull designs currently have special protection under the Copyright Act, so why not fashion designs as well? The most interesting thing is the proposed three year limit on protection--is that enough to protect the work of designers from being knocked off? Also, how on earth do you evaluate these sorts of copyright claims? Looks like we could have Tim Gunn finding an additional lucrative career as an expert witness on "novelty" in fashion design.
