An interesting case on unregistered designs in wedding dresses which makes a fun change from standard essential patents for 4G networks and second medical use of known compounds. Thelma Madine, who featured in the Channel 4 documentary "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" and was the subject of 2 books, sued two of her former employees for design right infringement when they made a dress for one of her former customers.
