Is it Legal to Recycle Design?
Posted on | September 20, 2008 |
As a designer, not only can you use resources that are renewable you can also re-use other people’s material such as packaging or photographs. But, how can you avoid legal pitfalls, how far can you go when re-cycling designs and materials?
Earlier this week, in Greengaged’s answer to the British pub quiz, Sarah Johnson of [re]design and Silvia Baumgart of Own-It, the free intellectual property advice resource for creatives, hosted [re]Quiz. For two hours, eight teams battled it out to attempt to correctly answer questions surrounding the legality of recycling designs or materials. Lawyer Harry Karaolou then guided the audience through each answer, detailing the laws of copyright.
Congratulations went to four piece team, Catherine Maminska, Anthony, Eiko Yoshida and Maria Papadimitriou [pictured below] who successfully won the [re]Quiz champagne!
