However, the sector does not seem to feel comfortable using alternatives offered by the Industrial Property Law. This study demonstrates the discomfort of a Brazilian applicant seeking protection for creations that involve the application of embroidery on luxury clothing – creations that involve art and industry.

Both jurisdictions are broadly favorable to the cumulative protection of copyright and industrial design overlapping with the same object if the protection requirements are present. Keywords: Design.
