> I had financial expenses that I did not intend to have. I spent a lot of time doing research, analyzing drawings and different information. I did put an effort to protect my intellectual property and integrity of my original design. Above all, I experienced a lot of negative emotions while I was working on this case.
Probably reflects my generally unfavorable view on IP law, but honestly I feel more sympathy for those on the other end having to scrap/redo the work.
May have been one thing if the window was copied close to 1:1, but from what's shown here it mostly just seems to be small geometric patterns, likely present individually on countless other stained glass pieces.
- arresin 2y agoIt doesn’t seem worth much to you because it’s not your vocation.
- Ukv 2y agoIt's not that this studio's work doesn't have value - but so did all the previous pieces that inspired this studio's work, and so did the Japanese designer's piece that was (plausibly) inspired by their work. I think legal threats over something like this are detrimental to fields of design that naturally evolve through mutation and transformation; nobody is inventing architecture from scratch each time. Also, to be clear, by "small geometric patterns" I mean the matches this article is pointing to, like this[0], not either of the works as a whole. Some of the highlighted snippets initially appear to be a more substantial region, but then on closer inspection only match in a broad sense and not on any specific details, like the radial petals[1].
