The fashion industry has the huge development potential creating about$750billion every year around the whole world. The fashion industry not only promotes the prosperity of international business, but also plays an important role in the developing of the economy and increasing of the employment. The fashion is not only just the necessities of life covering our body, but also expression of art. Designers’ intellectual property, such as the clothing effect diagram, clothing diagram, clothing, should be protected by intellectual property laws. The present situation of the fashion industry protection varies all over the world. The French, as the fashion capital, had already given the fashion design appearance design protection in19th century. And its Intellectual Property Rights Code had given the fashion strict protection by providing an express provision in20th century. Britain, which has a thriving fashion industry, has given fashion protection. The United States, which has realized the value of the fashion industry, is putting into action trying to protect the fashion industry. But, as the fashion power, our legal system of intellectual property protection does not contain provisions that protecting the fashion industry.
