Description
Mr. A is a talented Italian lamp designer, owner of a lighting company called “Exclusive Designs”. In 2019, Mr. A designed a collection of three lamps inspired in the city of Buenos Aires for a well-known Argentine decoration store. Following his lawyer’s advice, he registered the three lamps as industrial designs in Argentina. To the surprise of Mr. A, one of the lamps became a real success in Argentina.
Considering the increasing demand of Mr. A's lamp design, a local lighting company located in Buenos Aires started to manufacture and commercialise Mr. A’s lamp without his authorisation.
