## Resource

A fierce IP battle is heating up in Federal Court as Queensland fashion brand Sabo Skirt sues 19 companies for copying designs across 36 garments. Kmart and Shein are leading the defense, arguing Sabo Skirt’s prints weren’t original enough to qualify for copyright — citing dozens of pre-existing designs, even luxury brand Zimmermann dresses. Other defendants like Selfie Leslie dispute ownership or claim they imported finished goods. The case, set to escalate on July 7th, pits fast fashion against creative ownership in a high-stakes showdown over what truly counts as original in the industry.
