In today’s IP Insights, the last in the current series, we will outline the relationship between design law and copyright law, taking cars as an example.

In this latest edition, prepared by Piotr Grzybowski and Jacek Piasta, you’ll learn:

• When can protection under copyright law be invoked, and when under industrial design law?
• How do the rationale for protecting the two areas relate to each other?
• Can a car be a work under the copyright law?
