Intellectual Property in Relation to the Textiles and Fashion Industry. This research concerns IPRs applied to the global textiles and fashion industry, thus the nature of the fashion and textiles industry will be examined. 1 See TRIPS and Developing Countries Section 3.3 2 A Wechsler, China’s WTO Accession Revisited: Achievements and Challenges in Chinese Intellectual Property Law Reform, Xxx Xxxxxx Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law Research Paper No. 11-03, (2011) 3, 13 The textiles and fashion industry functions on a seasonal basis where there is a change each season, traditionally, two seasons, spring/summer and autumn/winter.
