Panel Discussion on ‘How Do We Battle Design Plagiarism?’ 

JJDF witnessed an interactive panel discussion on – ‘How do we Battle Design Plagiarism?’ On the occasion, jewellery designer, Mr. Yash Agarwal said that consumers also play an equal role in the plagiarism market. They bring designs they like from social media and take them to the jewellers to get a replicas made for them. Even though laws are in place to curb copying, it’s not the sole solution to the gargantuan problem. Both parties need to be equally responsible of their actions.

Jewellery designer, Ms. Sunita Shekhawat said that copying happens on every level. However, when peers in the gem and jewellery fraternity begin copying each other’s designs it becomes very painful.

Speaking about the influence of social media over plagiarism, Jewellery designer, Mr. Adeesh Nahar said that copying design is not a new problem in the business of fashion. We are in an unorganised market where designs have no value and with the growing use to social media, copies have been popping up far more often.

Other panellists like – Jewellery designers Anil Bharwani and Laksh Pahuja and Social media influencer, Tatyana Pfaifer were also present on the occasion.
