I attended the SCDF Showcase event on Wednesday 10 February at Lawtons in Southampton, with Jennifer Roberts, a Trainee Solicitor. The evening provided an exciting opportunity for local designers to exhibit their work and develop links with other like minded people. Whilst urban design and planning was a dominating presence, it was great to see a number of individuals showcasing contemporary textiles, prints, artwork and product designs and the obvious talent amongst the exhibitors was clearly evident.
Paris Smith was ‘showcasing’ our design protection services with guidance on registering designs and dealing with infringement and this was a recurring theme in conversations, with designers keen to realise the value in intellectual property protection and exploitation.
Rumour has it that another SCDF Showcase event, on a larger scale, may be planned in the not so distant future, so watch this space for further information.
