mikesc Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 So..you have no experience, you intend to start a leatherworking business*, and you are looking to copy someone else's ideas and designs ,and their patterns,( wallets and now phone cases ) and you want it all ( how to make the copies of those items from those designs ) explaining to you.. * That type of business is known as "knock offs" "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
Members Grumpymann Posted August 28, 2019 Members Report Posted August 28, 2019 Depends on how you want to go about it. Wet forming, cutting straight from a pattern ect.? Do you plan to hand sew or have a machine? Laser or stamping design? Dyed from the tannery or hand dyeing, airbrush or dip dye? What hardware do you want to include if any? Laser, clicker press or hand cutting, how do you plan to cut? Give an example in a pic of what you want to do. What tools or any experience if any do you have in leather or any trade or craft? Please help us help you.

Its not theft because I do Smartphone leather wallet which is not patent protected and there are many similar.Its not like you pay to designer and he designs a unique dress for you ,and Then you can sue for copying
Members Dwight Posted August 28, 2019 Members Report Posted August 28, 2019 Why do you want to put a smartphone in a wallet?? Phones belong in a pocket, purse, or phone carrier, . . . wallets are for money and credit cards. May God bless, Dwight If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher.

mikesc Posted August 28, 2019 Report Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) I'm a designer, ( whose work has been being copied for decades, without me seeing a cent for the copies ) you want to copy other designers work..that is "knock offs" ..You are not going to be getting any help from me..and I hope none from anyone else , if they have any ethics or honesty. Designing takes time and effort..that is why people sell patterns..and why honest people do not copy.Oh..and to add.. all designs, intellectual property ( see "Berne Convention"), the USA is a signatory ) are copyright from the moment they are made, they do not even have to be registered, ( even in the USA ) to be copyright, patents are some thing different, as any good lawyer, judge, or designer knows. No, I'm not going to explain, nor debate with someone who knows that what they intend to do is dishonest, do your own legal research, make your own designs. Disappointed to see that some here are willing to help you to copy the work of other designers.Honesty and integrity are becoming rare commodities.

I agree, knock off or clone, not good.
