 Re: What have you done to minimize your design from being counterfeited?
I've been thinking about this challenge as well.
Bad people will still copy for profit. But I think some ways to protect yourself is to publish your designs. What I mean is to have a blog and/or webpage that you announce your new design. Make sure people can "rss" it. And announce it in as many places you possibly can. My thinking is that I want to make it hard for whoever is stealing your design to publicize it without getting caught.
You can copyright your designs, even trademark them if you come up with a "life is good" design. But people will rip you off if they think you're making money with the design.
I think if you do get ripped off, you should make sure people know it as well. At least your designs were good enough to steal! |
