Hi Rod,
Good to hear from you again and to learn that business is booming!
If registrable designs such as in Australia or patentable designs such as in the US
are deemed by a company to be a highly valued part of their IP portfolio, it seems one
can either spend the money up front on an innovative industrial designer with some
flair to create a design that is both
new and
distinctive or alternatively create
something generic and employ talented lawyers later.
If all else fails, I recommend the
Chewbacca Defense -

Interested to hear the case study when the matter is closed. Good luck!
See you 2nd Sept at Somersby.
