STYLEPARK-Talk @Clubhouse #1: Design – Original vs. Plagiarism

Where are the limits to plagiarism in design? How can you recognize a design imitation? And how can designers protect their own creative work? We discussed these and other questions in a relaxed round of experts on Clubhouse.

On Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at 6:30 p.m., we spoke on Clubhouse on the topic of design vs. plagiarism with Katrin Greiling (designer, interior designer) and Philipp Mainzer (designer, architect, co-founder of the furniture brand e15) as well as Jan Ludwig (specialist lawyer for copyright and media law as well as industrial property rights) and René Spitz (design scientist and communications consultant).

It is well known that copycat versions of design objects cause high economic losses. That said, at universities copying is still considered a practical principle in learning. The upshot of this may be surprising – even pirate copies can sometimes lead to new insights.
