Jack Hicks Talks Defending Innovation, IP Rights in the Home Furnishings Industry with Furniture Today
GREENSBORO, N.C. – Even
in the face of copycats, innovation remains the lifeblood of the home
furnishings industry, and innovators have legal remedies to protect their
designs.
So says Womble
Carlyle’s Jack Hicks,
a veteran IP attorney who has served the home furnishings industry for more
than 25 years. Hicks recently spoke on “Innovation, Impersonation or
Infringement?” at the Furniture Today Leadership Conference, and Furniture
Today was on hand to cover his presentation.
“It is easy to knock
someone off and knock off a bestseller, but if you want to come up with a
one-of-a-kind product, we have laws to protect that,” Hicks said. “If you
innovate, the law will protect you.”
