Description
Summary:The common sense that copyright provides adequate protection for designs is questioned in this work, whose objective is to establish a comparison between this protection and industrial design in order to determine the most appropriate option for design projects. The deductive method was used with bibliographic and documentary research techniques. The discussion contemplates the role of design as a tool of differentiation and value addition that increases competitiveness, interfering directly in the performance of companies. The results show that copyright protection can be useful in the context of artistic and craft production, but in the context of a standardized and staged industrial production, the appropriate protection is the registration of industrial design. The results also highlight the need to insert the theme of industrial design protection from design schools.
